Glaucoma is an eye problem in which the optic nerve of the eye is damaged and the vision begins to decrease. This optic nerve, related to the eye, sends information about a scene to our brain, and through it we can work to recognize an object. Meanwhile, if due to some reason the optic nerve is put under pressure and it becomes weak or damaged, the ability to recognize things becomes weak and the eyesight begins to decrease. Although so far it is said about glaucoma that it happens more to people who are older i.e. after sixty years but
