Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. It is commonly known as the silent thief of sight due to its lack of early symptoms until it sneakily robs vision at the late stage of the disease. It significantly affects our activities of daily living and quality of life. Simple pleasures like reading, driving and cooking we often take for granted may be lost due to poor sight .
