Blindness caused by glaucoma is usually irreversible, so once glaucoma causes blindness, vision is difficult to recover.
Glaucoma is an eye disease with elevated intraocular pressure, damage to the optic nerve, and damage to the optic nerve is often permanent. Therefore, glaucoma blindness is generally not cured. However, even if glaucoma has caused some degree of vision loss, treatment is still necessary because treatment can help control intraocular pressure, reduce pain, and potentially prevent further vision damage.
Therefore, although glaucoma blindness may not be cured, early detection and treatment of glaucoma is the key to protecting vision.
