Glaucoma: It is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure in your eye. If not treated, it can lead to loss of vision. It is a major cause of blindness in people who are above the age of 60 years.

Ocular hypertension: It is a condition in which the pressure of the eye is higher than normal as a result of poor drainage of the aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye). Essentially, this means that too much fluid enters the eye without being drained, causing high amounts of pressure to build up. The increased pressure can be due to certain other diseases, an injury, or an adverse effect of certain medications. If left untreated, it can lead to optic nerve damage and permanent vision loss.
