glaucoma - disease of optic nerve leading to poor vision Definition for glaucoma Glaucoma is a group of diseases of the optic nerve involving loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy. more Glaucoma is a group of diseases of the optic nerve involving loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy. Although raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma, there is no set threshold for intraocular pressure that causes glaucoma. One person may develop nerve damage at a relatively low pressure, while another person may have high eye pressures for years and yet never develop damage. Untreated glaucoma leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness. less some common symptoms corneal injection eye pain headache worse with coughing or sneezing red eye(s) some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 68 diagnoses acute bacterial conjunctivitis herpes keratitis keratoconjunctivitis chlamydia infections allergic conjunctivitis chalazion dry eye syndrome   more do i have 'glaucoma'?
