In glaucoma, the nerve of the eye which is connected to the brain gradually impairs vision and the pressure of the eyes increase. Due to this ailment, the patients suffer severe pain in the eye and radishness in the eyes. In case of such symptoms, the patient should get his/her eyes examined and treated by a glaucoma specialist without wasting time.
