In this article, we embark on an exploration of glaucoma, a stealthy adversary that silently undermines vision.
Glaucoma, known as the "quiet robber of vision," encompasses a group of progressive eye diseases characterized
by damage to the optic nerve, often accompanied by elevated intraocular pressure. Despite its insidious nature,
glaucoma poses a significant public health challenge, affecting millions worldwide and leading to irreversible blindness
if left untreated. Through a comprehensive analysis, we aim to unveil the complexities of glaucoma, elucidating
its pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic interventions. By deciphering the
enigmatic nature of this condition, we strive to raise awareness, promote early detection, and enhance management
strategies to safeguard vision and mitigate the burden of glaucoma on global eye health.
