Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that affects the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure. If not diagnosed and treated early, glaucoma can cause gradual and irreversible vision loss, potentially leading to blindness. At Dr. Abram Ernest’s Clinic, we provide advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment options — including medication, laser therapy, or microsurgery — depending on each patient’s condition. The goal is to control eye pressure, protect the optic nerve, and prevent further vision deterioration.
Common Symptoms of Glaucoma
- Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision or difficulty focusing.
- Blurred vision or seeing colored halos around lights.
- Eye pain or sudden headaches (in acute cases).
- Persistent eye redness.
- Noticeable reduction in night vision.
- In advanced stages: painless, progressive narrowing of the visual field.

What Happens If Glaucoma Is Left Untreated?
Neglecting glaucoma can cause irreversible damage to the optic nerve, leading to permanent vision loss. The disease typically starts with a loss of side vision, followed by gradual central vision deterioration. Every delay in diagnosis or treatment increases the risk of blindness. That’s why early detection and consistent treatment are crucial to preserving vision for life.
