Question: What is end-stage glaucoma, and how serious is it? Answer: End-stage glaucoma is generally the term we apply when there is very advanced disease. It is a very serious situation because that means there's not very much healthy tissue left. In other words, there has been a lot of visual damage.
The most common type of glaucoma is primary open-angle glaucoma. It has no signs or symptoms except gradual vision loss. For that reason, itâs important that you go to yearly comprehensive eye exams so your ophthalmologist, or eye specialist, can monitor any changes in your vision.
