What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a terrible eye disease which damages the optic nerve, due to the sudden build-up of aqueous humor (the fluid between the cornea and the anterior chamber) which increases the eye pressure.

How does it happen?
The cornea has a fluid beneath which helps nourish the tissue and also maintain the eye pressure. When the fluid suddenly increases, the extra fluid cause a hike in the eye pressure, which in turn affects the optic nerve. Once the optic nerve damages beyond recovery, the person may no longer be able to see through that eye.
