  1. chronic glaucoma

    Chronic glaucoma, also known as primary open-angle glaucoma, is a long-term eye condition that involves increased pressure in the eye due to improper fluid drainage. This elevated eye pressure can potentially damage the optic nerve over time, leading to vision loss or even blindness if not treated. The disease progresses slowly and is often asymptomatic until significant vision loss occurs.
