Glaucoma in Pets: The Silent Threat to Vision
Glaucoma is elevated pressure inside the eye that can cause blindness within hours. Recognizing the signs early can save your pet's sight.
Glaucoma occurs when fluid builds up inside the eye, increasing intraocular pressure (IOP). This pressure damages the optic nerve and retina, leading to irreversible blindness. It's a true veterinary emergency requiring immediate intervention.
