Abstract
Glaucoma is a progressive disease and is very challenging to manage. The disease results in an elevated intra-ocular pressure and unfortunately in cases that are uncontrolled there will be a loss of vision. Eventually, in order to maintain the patient’s comfort levels, we may need to enucleate the glaucomatous eye/s. There are various aspects to consider when managing these cases to include owner expectation and support, pain management, medical and surgical intervention and blindness. This article will discuss the causes of glaucoma and what we can do to maintain vision for as long as possible.
