👁 Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve at the back of your eye. The optic nerve connects your eye to your brain, so untreated glaucoma can cause blindness.

Over time, this can affect:

• Navigating safely, especially in unfamiliar or cluttered environments.
• Detecting movement and hazards.
• Reading and close-up tasks if the condition progresses.
• Confidence in social or outdoor settings.
• Although vision loss from glaucoma can’t be reversed, VRS helps individuals learn to function confidently and independently.
