Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve due to increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). This pressure can cause irreversible vision loss and blindness if not treated early. Cataracts, on the other hand, are a clouding of the lens in the eye and can be corrected with surgery. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin tissue that covers the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelid. Presbyopia is a natural age-related loss of near focusing ability. None of these conditions are associated with high fluid pressure inside the eye.
