Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that can damage the optic nerve and cause permanent vision loss. It is commonly described as early, moderate, and advanced stages, based mainly on the extent of optic nerve damage and visual field loss. In the early stage, there may be little or no noticeable vision change. As glaucoma progresses, peripheral or side vision can become increasingly affected, followed by more significant vision loss in advanced disease.
Regular comprehensive eye examinations, including eye pressure measurement, optic nerve evaluation, and visual field testing, can help detect and monitor glaucoma. At Klarity Eye Care in Lucknow, timely evaluation and appropriate treatment can help slow further vision loss.
