Glaucoma: Early Detection Is The Key To Save Vision

Glaucoma or 'kala motia' is a condition where optic nerve of the eye gets damaged due to increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), thereby causing blind spots in the area of vision. And, any loss of vision that occurs due to optic nerve damage cannot be reversed.

Glaucoma is often hard to detect and it rarely shows any signs/symptoms at its beginning stages, but once the complete nerve is damaged, it leads to the total loss of vision. Therefore, any individual with the family history of Glaucoma, or who is at a risk of developing the condition, needs to be extra cautious and get their eyes examined, regularly.

Glaucoma cannot be cured but it can certainly be prevented with its early detection and timely and regular treatment.
