High myopia is also associated with an increased risk of glaucoma, a disease that damages the optic nerve and can cause permanent vision loss if it progresses. For patients who have both cataracts and glaucoma, minimally

How Genetic Changes May Contribute to Pigmentary Glaucoma Glaucoma can develop quietly, without obvious pain or changes in vision during its early stages. For some people, the condition begins when tiny particles of pigment from the iris interfere with the eye’s natural drainage system, gradually increasing pressure and threatening the optic nerve. Researchers at Yale
