Abstract in brief

Glaucoma is a major cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide, often remaining asymptomatic until advanced stages, which delays diagnosis and treatment.
The disease involves degeneration of retinal ganglion cells linked to increased intraocular pressure (IOP), with treatments primarily aimed at lowering IOP through drops, laser procedures, or surgery.
