Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions which can damage your optic nerve. When the fluid produced by your body (called aqueous humor) does not drain properly, the pressure in the front part of your eyes increases. This increased pressure damages your optic nerve. Your optic nerve is vital to maintaining good vision. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness for people over 60 years old. However, blindness from glaucoma can often be prevented with early treatment.
