| glaucoma |
An eye disease caused by impaired drainage of aqueous humor which results in increased intra ocular pressure. Finally the peripheral nerve fibers of the retina gradually die resulting in blindness of central vision to total blindness. Treatment may be medical (eye drops) or surgical. The condition may be acute (angle closure) or the more common open angle glaucoma. Sometimes it may also be associated with the use of certain medicines.
