Glaucoma is group of eye disorders that have few symptoms in their early stages, but eventually leads to damage of the optic nerve (the bundle of nerve fibers that carries information from the eye to the brain), which can then lead to vision loss or complete blindness in older age.
It is estimated that over 4 million adult and elderly Americans have glaucoma but only half of those know they have it. Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in the United States, and often has no symptoms. The optic nerve is the part of the eye that sends signals to the brain, allowing us to see. If the optic nerve is damaged by untreated glaucoma, this may lead to slow, painless, permanent loss of vision.
