Recent studies surrounding glaucoma and its causes have continued to shed light on the disease’s behavior. The primary determining factors for glaucoma rest within the optic nerve at the back of the eye, which can be at risk for damage when the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye becomes too high. When the optic nerve receives too much pressure for long periods of time — such as in the case of glaucoma — it can no longer send the “full picture” of your eyesight to the brain, leaving blind spots around the perimeter of your vision.

Not all aspects of eye health will give you noticeable symptoms like red eyes, swollen lids, or stinging pain. In fact, there are plenty of ocular complications that occur beneath the surface of the eye and don’t affect your vision until it’s too late. The most well-known of these diseases is glaucoma, a condition which is the result of optic nerve damage in the eye. If you take too long to begin glaucoma treatment, the condition can eat away at your peripheral vision until it reaches the center!

The eyes are one of the most sensitive organs in the human body, and so it comes as no surprise that taking care of them requires a delicate method. After all, it’s not like you can slap a band-aid on your cornea when something feels wrong!

Eyedrops are the saving grace for the ailments troubling our vision. In some cases a direct application of medical solution to the surface of the eye — in the form of eyedrops — is the most effective way to heal irritation and infection. Whether you want to hydrate your dry eyes or are on a treatment regimen for ocular diseases like glaucoma, you’re more than likely going to turn to eyedrops to preserve your eye health.
