Description

Glaucoma is a progressive disease of the optic nerve that causes damage to the optic nerve head and nerve fibre layer. The risk of developing glaucoma increases with age. Some 2% of people over the age of 50 have glaucoma, and more than 5% of those over 75. There are estimated to be more than 60 million patients with glaucoma globally, of which around 6 million are categorised as being visually handicapped.
