How do you get rid of glaucoma?

In the case of it being secondary, it could for example be secondary as part of a rare condition called Axenfelds Anomoly, where the primary is about underdeveloped bones, usually jaws, and teeth can be missing as a result. Though in such a case glaucoma is the secondary part of the problem, it is the first to be diagnosed and is by far the more serious of the two. Glaucoma can also be hereditary, this could apply to congenital glaucoma or otherwise. The otherwise then would be developing glaucoma in old age. This is less serious than congenital glaucoma in that it is less aggressive and does not have to be treated for the persons entire life.
Chances of Blindness in glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, primarily affecting the optic nerve due to elevated intraocular pressure. The risk of blindness varies based on factors such as the type of glaucoma, the stage at which it is diagnosed, and the effectiveness of treatment. If left untreated, glaucoma can result in significant vision loss, with estimates suggesting that about 10% to 15% of individuals with glaucoma may experience severe vision impairment or blindness. Early detection and consistent management are crucial to reducing these risks.
