What causes glaucoma in the eyes?
Glaucoma happens when fluid does not leave the eye as easily as it enters, so pressure can build up inside the eye. This increase in eye pressure can damage the optic nerve, which links the back of the eye to the brain and allows you to see. Glaucoma can sometimes occur even when eye pressure is normal.

What are the types of glaucoma?
Glaucoma has two main types: open-angle and angle-closure, also called closed-angle. In open-angle glaucoma, fluid pressure builds in the front of the eye even when the fluid drainage pathways are open. In angle-closure glaucoma, the eye's fluid drainage pathways are narrowed or closed, so fluid pressure builds up quickly.
How long does glaucoma take to develop?
Glaucoma can start suddenly or happen over a long time. Vision usually worsens slowly and may not be noticeable. Open-angle glaucoma is a chronic condition, meaning it will last a long time and may get worse.
