Why pressure rises? For practical purposes, almost all glaucomas result from a decreased ability of fluid to leave the eye; the drainage mechanism is not working properly. A commonly used analogy is a faucet and a drain. In glaucoma the faucet is producing the correct amount of fluid, but the drain is not working properly so too much fluid accumulates within the eye and the pressure rises. |
