AB  - Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Recent studies propose glaucoma
to be a neurodegenerative disease due to overlap with diagnoses such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Emerging reports have linked glaucoma as a risk factor for future certain
neurodegenerative diseases, however, results have been conflicting. The development of degenerative
brain disease consists of both a genetic and environmental component. If diagnosed with glaucoma,
patients should take additional measurements to reduce the likelihood of developing additional nerve
cell loss.
