Glaucoma
Introduction
Glaucoma is an eye condition resulting from an increase of pressure in the eye. It is the second most common cause of blindness in the United States. Approximately 3 million Americans have glaucoma, and because the condition does not cause symptoms in its early stages, half of them do not know it. Another 5 million to 10 million people are at increased risk for the disorder.
