Glaucoma is mostly caused by poor lifestyle habits or external environmental factors. If one consistently eats a biased diet over a long period, the body may become deficient in essential nutrients, increasing the risk of developing glaucoma. Therefore, maintaining good eating habits in daily life is the first step in preventing diseases. Moreover, glaucoma is a hereditary condition; if not treated promptly, it can easily be passed on to the next generation.
