MANAGEMENT OF EYE DISEASES & OTHER OCULAR CONDITIONS /

Glaucoma Specialist In Malaysia

Glaucoma is an eye condition where the optic nerve (which connects our eye to our brain), is damaged, resulting in a loss of vision. Often, glaucoma is asymptomatic. The person affected may not feel any pain as the changes inside the eye are gradual. Therefore, people suffering from glaucoma may lose vision even without them knowing it.
