Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which in most cases produce increased pressure within the eye. This elevated pressure is caused by a backup of fluid in the eye. Over time, it causes damage to the optic nerve. Through early detection, diagnosis and treatment, you and your doctor can help to preserve your vision.
In open angle glaucoma, the aqueous fluid cannot drain out of the eye properly because the trabecular meshwork is not working properly. As fluid builds up in the eye, the pressure rises. This pressure can cause irreversible damage to the optic nerve, which can lead to loss of vision.In narrow angle glaucoma, the iris is pushed against the cornea so that the aqueous cannot even get to the drain. In angle closure glaucoma, the drain, the trabecular meshwork, is physically blocked by the iris.s fluid builds up in the eye, the pressure rises.
