In Uganda, at least 3 in 10 Elderly suffer the disease, but come for diagnosis when it's late and has covered all eyes.
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of your eye called the optic nerve. The symptoms can start so slowly that you may not notice them. The only way to find out if you have glaucoma is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam.

Causes
😟Glaucoma develops when the optic nerve becomes damaged. As this nerve gradually deteriorates, blind spots develop in your vision. This nerve damage is usually related to increased pressure in the eye.
😟Elevated eye pressure happens as the result of a buildup of fluid that flows throughout the inside of the eye. This fluid is also known as the aqueous humour.
Risk factors
👍High internal eye pressure, also known as intraocular pressure
👋Age over 55
☺️Black, Asian or Hispanic heritage
🤔Family history of glaucoma
🤔Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, migraines, high blood pressure, and sickle cell anaemia
Corneas that are thin in the centre
👏Extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness
👏Eye injury or certain types of eye surgery
👏Taking corticosteroid medicines, especially eye drops, for a long time.
