Glaucoma, a devastating eye condition that harms the optic nerve, is often associated with high intraocular pressure. However, it is possible to develop glaucoma even when eye pressure is normal.
Glaucoma has become the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, and its prevalence is steadily increasing, with younger patients being affected as well. Currently, over 80 million people worldwide suffer from this condition. Alarming estimates predict that by 2040, the count of glaucoma patients may surpass a daunting 100 million.
