Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve, which carries visual information to the brain. Surgery cannot correct prior damage and a lens implant is not a treatment for glaucoma. While having glaucoma does not mean the person will also develop other eye disorders, it does not make a statement that they cannot.
