Glaucoma is not a single disease or complication of the eye - it is a group of them with a common feature - the common feature being damage to the optic nerve.

| - Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve of the eye, thereby providing progressively worse eyesight. The disease can be treated with different medications. General Miraslov Kiselev was suffering from the disease and was cured by a Goa'uld symbiote. (SG1: "Full Alert")
- Glaucoma, an eye disease, is one of the complications of diabetes. It has been described as a "silent thief" as it stills the vision slowly before one realizes that anything is wrong with his/ her vision. Glaucoma is not a single disease or complication of the eye - it is a group of them with a common feature - the common feature being damage to the optic nerve. This damage is generally accompanied by high pressure inside the eyeball. The optic nerve consists of more than a million nerve fibers at the back of the eye, carrying impulses of the image to the brain. If optic nerve deteriorates due to glaucoma, blind spots develop in the path of vision. The medical advances have resulted into very good treatment of glaucoma if detected at an early stage. However, if left untreated or poorly treated, glaucoma may lead to deterioration in the vision and may result into partial or complete loss of vision.
- Glaucoma is incurable, and treatment concentrates on alleviating symptoms and complications.
