Glaucoma is the name given to a group of eye conditions in which the main nerve to the eye (the optic nerve) is damaged where it leaves the eye. This nerve carries information about what is being seen from the eye to the brain and as it becomes damaged vision is lost. This results in misty and patchy vision, with eventual loss of central vision, although this is rare. The only way to know if you have glaucoma is to have your eyes checked at your local optometrist https://www.glaucoma-association.com/about-glaucoma #WGW2018
