glaucoma
Condition caused by excessive buildup of fluid inside the eye putting pressure on the retina. The leading cause of blindness among adults in the United States. There are two types of glaucoma; the most common being open angle and the less common, but more serious, called narrow angle. Glaucoma has few if any symptoms, but a simple, painless eye test detects the problem. If untreated, glaucoma can result in gradual, painless, irreversible loss of vision.
