What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which results in damage to the optic nerve and is the second-leading cause of vision loss in Canada.


What are the causes of Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is generally associated with a buildup of fluid pressure in the eye, damaging the optic nerve.


What are the risk factors of Glaucoma?

Glaucoma can cause significant vision loss without displaying any early signs or symptoms, so it is crucial to be aware of the risk factors. These include age (>60 years), high intraocular pressure, a family history of glaucoma, having certain medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and sickle cell anemia, eye trauma, smoking, untreated high blood pressure, and corticosteroid use.

A retinal photo is a digital picture of the back of your eye. In this picture, the retina (where light and images hit), the optic disk (a spot on the retina that holds the optic nerve, which sends information to the brain), and blood vessels are displayed, which helps your eye doctors get a better view of your eye health. Patients with diabetes, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal toxicity are highly encouraged to take this test.
