Glaucoma in dogs: What you need to know

Basset hound dog.

Glaucoma in dogs is a painful condition caused by high pressure within the eye. Two types of glaucoma can affect our canine companions: primary and secondary.

Glaucoma can lead to blindness if it is left untreated. There is no cure for glaucoma, but luckily there are management options using eye drops and other medications. It is a sad fact that most dogs with glaucoma will eventually go blind, however early detection of the disease and prompt treatment can help to maintain your dog’s vision for longer.
