What is glaucoma? Paul Rosen explains that glaucoma is a condition where the pressure in the eye is too high. If the condition is acute, the pressure in the eye becomes enormous. This rarely happens, but it is a sight-threatening condition. The second sort is chronic glaucoma. Here the pressure rises gradually. As there are no symptoms, patients don’t know they’ve got it and gradually lose their field of vision.
