Glaucoma??????????? |
The eye doctor just told my mom that she is on the bridge of developing glaucoma. What is Glaucoma? Is there anything I can do to help my mom( Im only15)? Glaucoma is an increase in pressure within the eye. It can cause blindness if untreated, but is treated easily with medication. Two kinds; closed and open angle. |
