My doctor says I'm at risk of developing glaucoma. What does that mean?

Glaucoma is a condition where the pressure in your eye is too high, which can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss. It’s most common in people over 40 years old, but it can also affect younger adults. The main symptom is blurred or decreased vision, which may be noticed when reading or driving. If you have any questions about glaucoma, it's important to consult with your doctor.
