- GlaucomaGlaucoma occurs when pressure in the eye becomes elevated. In normal function, fluid drains through a mesh-like organ in the front of the eye, and is constantly replaced by new fluid. With glaucoma, the fluid does not drain properly and pressure builds up, pushing against the optic nerve, often damaging it. Reduced vision is typically the result. Left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible blindness.
- Macular DegenerationAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the deterioration of the macula, the small central area of the retina responsible for central vision. Without a healthy macula, visual tasks that requires the ability to see fine detail become difficult, such as reading, recognizing faces, driving, watching television, and using a phone or other devices. AMD is the leading cause of vision loss among Americans who are 40 years of age and up.

These blood vessels can swell and leak, or close and stop blood from passing through. Sometimes abnormal new blood vessels grow on the retina. All of these changes are serious sight-threatening complications.
