The primary cause of glaucoma is increased pressure inside the eye. This pressure, known as intraocular pressure, damages the optic nerve. One of the most insidious aspects of glaucoma is that it often progresses without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Early detection is crucial in managing glaucoma. While there is no cure for glaucoma, early detection and treatment can significantly slow down or even stop the progression of the disease. Regular eye exams are essential, especially for those at higher risk. Farabi Hospital's ophthalmology department is renowned for delivering cutting-edge treatments and unparalleled care to patients with glaucoma.
