Whats the difference between high eye pressure and glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damages the nerves carrying images from the eye to the brain. When the fluid inside the eye that nourishes the cornea and the lens can’t flow properly through the eye, pressure in the eye builds. The pressure compresses the optic nerve and can damage it. Whether you develop glaucoma depends on how much pressure your optic nerve can take without being damaged.
