Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to your eye's optic nerve and gets worse over time. It's often linked to a buildup of pressure inside your eye. Glaucoma tends to be inherited and may not show up until later in life.
The pain in glaucoma is caused by the increase in pressure in the eye. It can be caused by the failure of the eye fluid (aqueous humor) to drain due to either a blockage or pressure of your iris pushing against your lens. However, to date the main cause of glaucoma has not yet been identified.
