If members of your immediate family have glaucoma, you are at a much higher risk than the rest of the population. Family history increases risk of glaucoma four to nine times. According to Google grin grin

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases characterised by increased intraocular pressure leading to a progressive optic nerve damage and a characteristic defect in the visual field. The risk factors for glaucoma includes hereditary, African race, and shallow anterior chamber angle among others.

Glaucoma is basically of two types which are the open angle and closed angle types. Open angle is the type without symptoms and known as silent thief of sight. This is the one that is usually transferred through the genes and starts to manifest after age 50 and more common in Africans. The closed angle type has symptoms like increased pressure in the eyeball which causes headache and gastric disturbance (vomiting) this headache occurs in the occipital part of the head that's the back and also occurs with puling sensation of the eye ball. If this condition continues untreated with eye drops this pressure compresses the nerves and blood vessles on the eyeball. This compression pushes the nerve fibres to the periphery, creates a wider cup to disk ratio and causes the arcuate retinal nerve fibers responsible for peripheral vision to lose blood vessels and innervation and loss of vision starts. See the picture attached for the characteristic visual field defect.


Glaucoma is incurable but can be prevented. It is progressive and the most that can be done is to detect it at early stage and manage with drugs. If the early stages of the progression is missed, the later stages can be managed with antioxidants like the STC and other optic nerve regeneration formulas but non of these can restore normal vision but can halt the progression.

For closed angle Glaucoma once a person has headache that wont resolve with analgesics pls get your eyes tested for increase in eye pressure and resolve it if above 21mmHg. If not, glaucoma will result.


For open angle glaucoma without symptoms which manifests mostly when a person is above 40, get tested for eye defects like increase in cup to disc ratio, and visual field defects from time to time for quick follow up.

I hope this helps.

Yes, glaucoma is heredity.

Most times, you won't know until you've lost significant vision. By then, the vision lost cannot be recovered.

Because the damaged optic nerves can't be repaired or replaced.

The BEST THING to do is go for a comprehensive eye exam. Ensure there's an Intraocular Pressure (IOP) check, and Visual Field (VF) screening.

A good doctor, however, should detect problems from your Visual Acuity(VA) and Opthalmoscopic findings (i.e. Looking at the back of your eye).

So please for a check up.

Yours Sincerely

Dr. Erhunmwunse

However, glaucoma can't be cured rather managed. It is hereditary but you have to be in check of your intraocular pressure.
NevertheIess, regular eye check is the key

Maybe it is, but sometimes it is lifestyle. I almost had the rubbish disease in 2019 but was very lucky that I ran into a man who helped me cure it naturally. My vision was extremely blurry and I noticed my left eye was almost gone.
My father, mother and grand parents were never blind. I had worked so hard, I formerly worked at NICAPACO and they called me Terminator because I worked day and night shift. I overworked myself because I had a target I wanted to meet. This stressful life messed with my BP, affected my sperm count and gave me prediabetes symptoms. I am happy today everything is gone. I am not exercising, it was just herbs and a total change in life style. Just make sure you sleep 8 hours daily and don’t stress yourself about ambition or buying a house before age 30 like I did. It isn’t worth it when the health challenges start.

Claucoma according to American doctor journal maybe hereditary and may not. They are not sure. It is incurable but it can be managed. There is normally high blood pressure in the high called ocular hypertension. This increases damage to retina. In USA eye drops are being used to reduce the pressure. Sometimes Lazer surgery can be performed to reduce too much water coming out of the eyes. If manage properly one may not go totally blind but is incurable

Yes Glaucoma is hereditary.
But unlike regular hereditary diseases, it makes sure the oil touches every branch on the genetic tree.

For example.
If A suffers from Glaucoma, A's first cousin will too. And if A's first cousin does, his nephew will too.
If A's first cousin's nephew gets glaucoma, then his grandchild could too.

So it is indirectly hereditary.
It can not be cured because it is caused by a damage to the eye nerves due to increased occular pressure.
It can only be managed if detected early, also note that nerve damages caused by Glaucoma are non reversible.
These nerve damages deteriorate till you eventually stop seeing evils.

Never in the history of Nigeria has there been a rise in glaucoma as we have it today.
This is because, 'Man dey see too many things these days' unlike in the past.

How can a man watch porn, ejaculate frequently with his eyes squinting each time he does.
Or walk on the streets seeing different shapes of yanshes and encountering police brutality without his eye pressure rising?

The only way to prevent Glaucoma is by resting your eyes a bit more.
Don't open your eyes too wide when you see big yansh and don't close your eyes too tight if you want to cum.
Don't also wake up at night to read your partner's WhatsApp messages because a High Blood Pressure can also trigger Glaucoma.

Most importantly, visit an eye clinic periodically for routine checks because Glaucoma can wake up one morning and remember your address.

Thank me later because I am too busy with fvckery.

Classic Nwamaikpe! cheesy cheesy cheesy

For now no cure for glaucoma for now, but you can manage it with some eyes drops, am in my mid 30's and I have the so call glaucoma, dont fear it not going to take your eyes away, not untill you stop using your medication

Yes it cost intensive to treat it but it pay off, you have to spend minimum of 3k to 5k for eyes drop per month

Is there a time you stop using those drugs or it is going to be for life?

Glaucoma is a sudden thief of the eye! Be careful and go for check up! I discovered mine about 4yrs ago after it struck me! Have never gone for eye checkup until I had the attack. Doctor discovered it was an acute angle closure glaucoma (the most dangerous of it) it has damaged more than half of my optic nerves! And the vision started deteriorating afterwards! Eye drop couldn’t lower the pressure effectively (about 50mmHg) most times. Tribeculectomy was the Solution for me, I stopped using eye drops since 2yrs now and the pressure has been normalized but the visa hasn’t changed (Only miracle can change it).� It is indeed a dangerous decease of the eye. Beware
