<human>: My doctor says I'm at risk of developing glaucoma. What does that mean?
<bot>: Glaucoma is a disease in which the pressure inside your eye increases, damaging the optic nerve and causing vision loss. It is usually caused by an increase in the fluid pressure within the eye, which can be due to blockage of the drainage system or an abnormality in the structure of the eye. If you have glaucoma, your doctor may recommend regular eye exams, as well as treatment with medication or surgery.
