Glaucoma is an eye disease that can steal your sight. It happens when the nerve connecting your eye to your brain, called the optic nerve, gets damaged. This damage can lead to vision loss and even blindness.
Glaucoma often develops slowly without any early signs. You may not notice anything until your vision is already affected.
Many people don’t realize they have it until serious, permanent vision loss happens.
That’s why regular eye check-ups are so important
