Glaucoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The ophthalmologist is the specialist who diagnoses and follows up on glaucoma, an eye condition in which the optic nerve is progressively damaged, often associated with an increase in the pressure inside the eye.
What it is: it is a group of conditions that can affect vision gradually; in many cases it advances without obvious symptoms in its early stages.
Possible signs: slow loss of side vision, blurred vision or, in acute forms, severe eye pain, redness, and halos around lights.
Why get it checked in time? Detecting it early through eye exams helps protect visual health. If you have a family history or notice changes in your vision, it is worth scheduling an evaluation with an ophthalmology specialist.
