Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and lead to permanent vision loss over time. Because glaucoma often has no early warning signs, regular eye exams are one of the best ways to catch it early and protect your sight.

What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damages the optic nerve, which is essential for healthy vision. In many cases, this damage is linked to pressure inside the eye, but glaucoma can develop in different ways. The challenge is that many people do not notice symptoms in the early stages, which is why glaucoma is often called a “silent” eye disease.

Common Symptoms of Glaucoma

In its early stages, glaucoma often causes no symptoms at all. As the disease progresses, it may begin to affect side vision first, which can make it hard to notice without testing. Over time, untreated glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss.
Possible symptoms may include:

  • No early symptoms

  • Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision

  • Blind spots

  • Trouble seeing areas off to the side

  • Vision loss that becomes more noticeable over time

The best time to catch glaucoma is before you notice vision loss.

When Glaucoma Symptoms Need Immediate Attention

A less common but serious form, called acute angle-closure glaucoma, can come on suddenly and needs urgent care.
Symptoms may include:

  • Sudden blurry vision

  • Severe eye pain

  • Headache

  • Halos around lights

  • Nausea or vomiting

If you have these symptoms, you should seek prompt eye care right away.

Why Early Detection Matters

Vision loss from glaucoma is permanent and cannot be reversed, but early treatment can help slow or stop additional damage. Because glaucoma often has no early warning signs, a comprehensive eye exam is the best way to find it early and begin treatment before more vision is lost.
Who Is at Higher Risk for Glaucoma?
Anyone can develop glaucoma, but risk is higher for people who:

  • Are over age 60

  • Are Black/African American and over age 40

  • Are Hispanic/Latino, especially older adults

  • Have a family history of glaucoma

  • Have elevated eye pressure or other risk factors identified by an eye doctor

Patients at higher risk should ask how often they need to be checked.

How We Evaluate for Glaucoma

At Oasis Optometry, a glaucoma evaluation may include:

  • Measurement of eye pressure

  • Examination of the optic nerve

  • Dilated eye exam when needed

  • Visual field testing

  • Retinal or optic nerve imaging

  • Ongoing monitoring over time

Since glaucoma is often silent in the beginning, testing is important even if your vision feels normal.

Glaucoma Treatment & Management

While glaucoma cannot be cured, treatment can often help protect the vision you still have. Treatment depends on the type and severity of glaucoma and may include:

  • Prescription eye drops

  • Laser treatment

  • Surgery

  • Regular follow-up visits to monitor pressure and optic nerve health

A common goal of treatment is to lower eye pressure and reduce further damage to the optic nerve.

Glaucoma FAQs

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damages the optic nerve and can lead to permanent vision loss if not detected and treated.

Often, glaucoma has no symptoms in its early stages. As it progresses, it may slowly reduce side vision.

Yes. If glaucoma is not found and managed, it can lead to serious vision loss and blindness.

There is no cure for glaucoma, but treatment can often slow or stop further damage and help protect remaining vision.

Glaucoma is diagnosed through a full eye evaluation that may include eye pressure measurement, optic nerve evaluation, dilated exam, visual field testing, and imaging.

Treatment may include prescription eye drops, laser treatment, surgery, and regular monitoring.

Risk is higher for older adults, people with a family history of glaucoma, and certain higher-risk populations including Black/African American adults over 40 and many Hispanic/Latino older adults.

That depends on your age, risk factors, and exam findings. Patients at higher risk should talk with their eye doctor about how often they need a comprehensive dilated eye exam.
