Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glaucoma is characterized by an increase in intraocular pressure (fluid pressure inside the eyeball), which can lead to damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision if not treated. It is not primarily experienced by young adults, does not decrease in seriousness with age, and leads to vision problems rather than presbycusis, which is age-related hearing loss.
