★ Visual loss due to glaucoma generally occurs silently, without symptoms, and the most common thing is that the person with glaucoma does not realize that they are losing vision until the more advanced stages of the disease, which often leads to the diagnosis of glaucoma. glaucoma is done too late. This happens because glaucoma tends to affect one eye more than the other, and very slowly, which causes our brain to create adaptation mechanisms to this visual loss, meaning that the person does not notice the worsening of their vision. 00:00 - Introduction 01:38 - Glaucoma is an asymmetric disease 05:36 - Glaucoma is a slowly progressive disease 09:55 - When do symptoms of vision loss appear? 11:29 - How to prevent vision loss?
