What Could Cause Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is not a single disease but rather a collection of conditions that result in damage to the eye’s optic nerve, which results in loss of vision. People who are over the age of 60 are at a higher risk of glaucoma, although anyone can develop the disorder. If left untreated, it can lead to blindness in one or both eyes. Consider this information derived from the Mayo Clinic and the National Eye Institute about what causes glaucoma.
