Why i got glucoma at the age of 24 and glucoma mostly starts at the age of 35 and above?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glaucoma: Can occur at any age, even though the typical variety of glaucoma is more common in older individuals. When a younger person like you does develop this condition, it's very important to maintain good control of your eye pressures to reduce the risk of your glaucoma getting worse.
