This raised pressure develops when the fluid produced in the eye to nourish the cornea and lens cannot drain away as well as it should. When this fluid drains less effectively, the pressure inside your eye rises. As glaucoma is usually painless, it is important to have your eye pressure measured regularly from the age of 45 to 50. If glaucoma runs in your family, we recommend a check-up from the age of 40.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8947c0
