Glaucoma is a disease in which one of the symptoms is often increased eye pressure (intraocular pressure aka IOP). The liquid in your eye drains through a certain pathway and in closed angle glaucoma, the pathway (angle) is closed which doesn't allow the liquid to flow through. This causes the pressure to increase. In open angle glaucoma this is not the reason for the increased pressure. It is common for glaucoma to affect both eyes. The increased pressure seems to damage the nerve fiber layer in the eye. This layer helps send information about what is seen back to the brain, so damage here eventually leads to loss of vision. The vision loss usually starts with the side vision and eventually, if severe enough, can lead to complete blindness. You may often hear the doctors talk about the optic nerve. The optic nerve is where the information comes together and carries it to the brain. The damage from glaucoma can often be visibly observed on the optic nerve head.
