glaucoma?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-conditions\/glaucoma-guide\/\">Glaucoma<\/a> is an eye disease that causes vision loss from damage to the optic nerve, which is responsible for carrying visual signals between the eye and brain.<\/p>\n<p>The most common form of glaucoma occurs when there is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-exams\/why-is-eye-pressure-important\/\">high pressure inside the eye<\/a> (intraocular pressure, IOP), caused by a build-up of fluid that cannot drain properly.<\/p>\n<p>Glaucoma has the infamous reputation of \u201crobbing\u201d the ability to see, without giving the person time to recognize symptoms and seek their eye doctor\u2019s medical opinion.<\/p>\n<p><b>It is important to schedule regular eye exams, as new diagnostic tests are available to detect early signs of glaucoma.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>What causes narrow-angle glaucoma?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Narrow-angle glaucoma occurs when the iris, the colored part of the eye that surrounds the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-health\/how-does-the-eye-work\/ocular-anatomy-the-front-of-the-eye\/\">pupil<\/a>, bows forward, narrowing the gap between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-health\/how-does-the-eye-work\/ocular-anatomy-the-front-of-the-eye\/\">cornea and the iris,<\/a> where the eye&#8217;s drainage angle is located.<\/p>\n<p>Narrow-angle glaucoma is linked to the following:<\/p>\n<p><b>Iris plateau<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A condition in which the ciliary body, the structure behind the iris that produces the aqueous fluid in the eye, is too far forward in the eye.<\/p>\n<p>The peripheral iris is pushed forward, resulting in a reduced drainage angle and a higher likelihood of occlusion by the front surface of the peripheral iris.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tumors and other causes<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Chronic angle-closure glaucoma can also be caused by a tumor behind the iris, swelling associated with ciliary body inflammation (intermediate uveitis), and changes in the structure of the eye after surgery for a <a
