Glaucoma Pathology and Symptoms
A disease that damages sufferers’ optic nerves, glaucoma is often triggered by blockage of the channels that drain a lubricant called aqueous humour from their eyes. As fluids build up, intraocular pressure within the eye increases and optic nerve fibers can no longer function properly.
