Hi Ishfaq,

Primary open-angle glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that usually develops slowly and without symptoms. It occurs when the drainage canals within the eye become clogged over time, leading to increased intraocular pressure. This elevated pressure can damage the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss.

Management and treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma typically involve prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser therapy, or surgery in some cases. It is important to attend regular eye exams to monitor the condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

If you're experiencing symptoms or have concerns about primary open-angle glaucoma, we strongly recommend reaching out to us. We have a team of expert eye specialists near your location. They can provide a proper diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options based on your specific situation.

It is essential to address eye health issues promptly. Wishing you the best of health!
