Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, typically due to increased pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure). Over time, this damage can lead to gradual and irreversible vision loss, often beginning with peripheral vision. Because symptoms are often subtle or even absent in the early stages, glaucoma is often referred to as the “silent thief of sight.”

Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when the quality of your tears is poor. This leads to inflammation, irritation, and discomfort.

While many associate dry eye with aging, your environment could be playing a bigger role than you think.
