What is Glaucoma?


By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
The eye

The normal eye is cased in the eyeball or the globe that lies in the orbit. This is filled with jelly like material called the vitreous humor. There are associated structures like:

    Conjunctiva – the thin transparent cover in front of the eye.
    The cornea that is transparent and allows light to pass.
    Sclera - tough covering of the eyeball or the whites of the eyes.
