Abstract

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease and is considered as one of the most common reasons of blindness.

This article presents a detailed overview of glaucoma, its symptoms and the potential it has to affect the persons. The research work related to its diagnosis and treatment is also reviewed in this article.
