Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions in which damage to the optic nerve — most commonly driven by elevated intraocular pressure — leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss if left undetected or untreated. It is one of the leading causes of permanent blindness worldwide, yet many people have no noticeable symptoms in the early stages, making routine screening particularly important for those at elevated risk. Risk factors include raised intraocular pressure, a family history of glaucoma, age over 60, African or Hispanic heritage, thin corneas, high myopia, diabetes, and long-term corticosteroid use. A thorough evaluation — combining personal and family medical history with targeted clinical investigations — is essential to determine the type, severity, and most appropriate management pathway for each individual.
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.

Laser Glaucoma Procedures use focused laser energy to improve the drainage of intraocular fluid or reduce its production, thereby lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) and slowing optic nerve damage.
