Glaucoma also known as Kala Motia is one of the serious conditions of the eye in which fluid pressure inside the eyes damages the optic nerve. It causes excessive damage to the optic nerve which eventually results in blindness. It can be treated through medicines, laser surgery or operative surgery depending upon the nature and severity of each case.

Doubling of vision, change in the colour of iris, intense pain, redness of the eye, headache, nausea, vomiting, watery eyes etc.
Strong risk factors include:-
Age, past injuries to the eyes, thin cornea, very severe near eye sight, family history of glaucoma, African ancestry, diabetes, use of steroid etc.
If you are facing any one of these symptoms, contact an eye specialist for a complete test.
