👁️ Understand the Silent Thief of Sight: Glaucoma
Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because it can damage your vision without early warning signs. As shown in the diagram, when the drainage canal in the eye is blocked, fluid builds up, causing high pressure. This pressure can permanently damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss.
💡 How it happens:
➤Drainage canal gets blocked.
➤Fluid builds up inside the eye.
➤Intraocular pressure rises.
➤The optic nerve gets damaged.
Don't wait until it’s too late. Regular check-ups are your best defense!
