What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a condition that causes harm to your eye's optic nerve and became dangerous when kept untreated. It is frequently connected with the development of pressure inside the eye. Glaucoma has a tendency to be inherited and may not appear until the desired time.
The created pressure which is called as the intraocular pressure, can harm the optic nerve. This optic nerve is responsible for the transmission of images to the brain. If this damage to the optic nerve due to the pressure continues, the glaucoma can leads to the permanent vision loss of the patient. So without treatment glaucoma can lead to total blindness within a few years.
About 50% of the people with glaucoma doesn't show any early indications or pain due to this pressure. So every one should see an eye doctor regularly as possible since this can diagnose glaucoma at its early stage and thus can avoid the danger of losing the vision permanently.
If you are a diabetic patient or have an family history of glaucoma, then the chances for getting glaucoma is very high. So its better for those persons to undergo a comprehensive eye checkup.

Helpful article! Recovery time after glaucoma surgery varies per patient and per surgery, but most patients heal within 3 to 6 weeks. It is recommended to reserve the day after the surgery for recovery time.
