Glaucoma has three stages, the initial, intermediate
and the final stages, at the initial stages when there is no any sign an
symptoms, a person sees everything clearly, as the glaucoma continues the
person loss peripheral vision but the central vision is very clearly, what is
meant by this is at this stage he/she
can only have the central view of an object while the side view is blurry while
the final stage the vision is completely lost and he sees nothing but total
blindness.
Glaucoma is a diseases that deteriorate the optical
nerves, the sensory organs that transmit optical neurons to the brains for
interpretation,
We can only see if the eye through it retina can
receive light rays coming from object , these light rays are taken to the brain
as sensory neuron and are interpreted by the brains, these sensory neurons or should i say optical
messages are transmitted to the brain through the optical nerves. If these
optical neurons do not get to the brains and interpreted we cannot see.
Glaucoma is an eye infection that deteriorate these optical nerves and massage cannot then
get to the brains, glaucoma can cause permanent irreversible vision loss,
