ποΈ Glaucoma Isnβt Always About High Eye Pressure
Most people think glaucoma only happens with high eye pressureβbut thatβs just one piece of the puzzle. Some forms, like normal-tension glaucoma, can silently damage your optic nerve even when your pressure seems normal.
Other risk factors you might not expect:
β’ Family historyβeven at a young age
β’ Blood flow issues to the optic nerve
β’ Chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure
β’ Long-term steroid use
Glaucoma often sneaks up without pain or obvious symptomsβvision loss may be the first sign. Early detection through a comprehensive eye exam is the only way to protect your sight.
