Glaucoma: Protect Your Vision

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can cause damage to the optic nerve, potentially leading to vision loss. Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma typically develops gradually, and you may not notice symptoms until significant damage has occurred. At Optique Boutique, we specialize in early detection, personalized care, and advanced treatment options to protect and preserve your vision. Seeking treatment early is essential to managing the condition effectively and preventing long-term damage.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases that result in damage to the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. The most common type of glaucoma is open-angle glaucoma, where the drainage channels in the eye become less efficient, causing increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). If left untreated, this increased pressure can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss.

Unlike some other eye conditions, glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred, making regular eye exams crucial for early detection.

Symptoms of Glaucoma

In its early stages, glaucoma may not show any noticeable symptoms. As the condition progresses, symptoms can include:

• Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision
• Blurry or tunnel vision
• Severe eye pain (in cases of acute angle-closure glaucoma)
• Redness in the eye
• Nausea or vomiting (in more advanced cases)

Since glaucoma often progresses without symptoms, regular eye exams are essential, especially for those at higher risk.
