Glaucoma management focuses on controlling Glaucoma Eye Pressure (intraocular pressure) to protect the optic nerve and preserve sight. When intraocular pressure remains too high for the eye, delicate nerve fibers at the back of the eye become damaged, creating irreversible blind spots that can progress to serious vision loss.
Effective care typically combines glaucoma medications, laser procedures, and, when necessary, surgery, all guided by regular tests such as visual field assessments to track how well central and peripheral vision are functioning.
