Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of diseases in which the pressure in the eye is higher than that
particular eye can tolerate. The nerve fibers and blood vessels in the optic nerve become
compressed and can be damaged or destroyed. This is called cupping. The optic nerve fibers
are the "electrical cable" carrying sight from the eye to the brain, and damage to these
fibers impairs vision.
