Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if not detected and managed appropriately. At treeG Majan Eye Centre in Barka, Oman, patients can enquire about glaucoma assessment and available management options.
High eye pressure
Can slowly damage the optic nerve
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain. Increased pressure inside the eye is an important risk factor, although glaucoma can also occur when eye pressure is within the normal range.
The condition can develop gradually without noticeable symptoms, making appropriate eye examinations important for people at risk.
At a glance
Glaucoma may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages. As it progresses, possible signs can include:
Some forms of glaucoma can cause sudden symptoms, including severe eye pain, a red eye, blurred vision, halos around lights, headache, nausea or vomiting.
Important: These sudden symptoms may indicate an eye emergency and require immediate medical assessment.
Glaucoma assessment is important if you have risk factors, a family history of glaucoma or changes in your vision.
An ophthalmologist may recommend evaluation based on your age, eye pressure, optic nerve appearance, medical history and other clinical findings.
Early diagnosis and appropriate management can help reduce the risk of further optic nerve damage. Existing vision loss from glaucoma generally cannot be reversed, so timely assessment matters.
