What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a long-term eye condition where pressure inside the eye damages the optic nerve, which transmits visual information to the brain. It often develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms until significant vision is lost. Early diagnosis and regular treatment, usually with eye drops or surgery, can help manage the condition. Carrying an ICE card alerts emergency responders to your vision impairment and may help prevent confusion or inappropriate responses in urgent situations.
