Pigmentary Glaucoma


Overview and Facts about Pigmentary Glaucoma

Pigmentary glaucoma is an eye condition that occurs when the layer of the eye containing pigment, the iris, rubs against the lens, causing the release of pigment particles. These particles accumulate in the eye, preventing the fluid produced by the eye from draining.

Fluid build-up can cause increased eye pressure and the development of glaucoma conditions. Eventually, damage to the optic nerve, the structure responsible for sending visual stimuli to your brain, leads to vision loss.

Delayed diagnosis or poor management of pigmentary glaucoma conditions can lead to permanent blindness. Regular visits to an eye specialist can help detect pigmentary glaucoma early on, allowing for immediate treatment.
