Glaucoma: How to Preserve Your Vision? Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore!

In this video, an ophthalmologist will explain what glaucoma is, its symptoms, and how it is diagnosed and treated. We'll learn whether glaucoma is incurable and what measures can help preserve vision.
In the early stages, symptoms are subtle or absent, but as the disease progresses, peripheral vision loss, blurring, eye pain, headaches, and the appearance of colored rings around light sources may occur.
Glaucoma diagnosis involves measuring intraocular pressure and examining the optic nerve. Treatment may include medication, laser, or surgery, depending on the stage of the disease.
Don't ignore the symptoms! Glaucoma is a chronic disease that requires ongoing monitoring. Regular eye exams will help preserve your vision.
