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.
