Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases affecting the optic nerve and causing vision loss due to elevated eye pressure. It includes various types such as angle closure, open-angle, and normal tension glaucoma. Symptoms can vary from blurred vision to tunnel vision, and risk factors include age, family history, and medical conditions like diabetes. Treatment involves medication, eye drops, or surgery to manage eye pressure and prevent optic nerve damage. Complications may arise, requiring careful monitoring in medicine studies.
