Build-up of pressure within the eye that causes damage to the optic nerve is known as glaucoma. The pressure inside the eye rises and fluid is built-up inside the eye. The optic nerve and other parts of the eye may get damaged, leading to loss of vision, if the pressure is left uncontrolled. Eye injuries, Myopia (nearsightedness), high blood pressure, prescription drugs, and other eye-related illnesses and diabetes can cause glaucoma.

If you experience symptoms like vision loss, redness in the eye, nausea, vomiting, eye pain and so on you should seek immediate medical help. Your doctor may use prescription eye drops, laser surgery, or microsurgery to treat it. You can treat glaucoma naturally too.
