Patient's question:
In daily life, one often hears the term glaucoma, and it is also mentioned when getting glasses. I want to know what causes glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases characterized by the intraocular pressure increasing intermittently or persistently. The symptoms of elevated intraocular pressure can vary depending on the underlying cause. Persistent high intraocular pressure can cause damage to various parts of the eye and visual function, leading to vision loss and visual field constriction, and even resulting in blindness.
