Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can lead to vision loss and blindness. It occurs more often in adults over 60, in African Americans over 40, and in people with a family history of the disease. In the early stages, glaucoma has no warning signs, but if left untreated, changes in vision eventually become noticeable.
