University Hospitals of Leicester have produced an informative poster on the sight loss condition of glaucoma. This is a great insight into one of the many conditions those we support may have.
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases where the nerve in the back of the eye is damaged. This can cause vision loss and blindness if untreated. Lowering the pressure of the eye can help to slow down the disease. This will avoid permanent damage of the nerve.
