Glaucoma is a severe eye disease where fluid buildup inside the eye increases pressure, damaging the optic nerve and retina. This pressure occurs when the natural drainage system of the eye becomes blocked, preventing fluid from flowing out normally. Without proper drainage, the elevated pressure causes permanent damage to the dog's vision.
Owners may notice a red, watery eye, a bluish cloudiness over the cornea, a dilated pupil, or signs of pain like squinting and rubbing the face. It typically develops in middle-aged to senior dogs and can rapidly lead to blindness if not addressed.
While not curable, it is manageable with lifelong daily eye drops to control pressure, though surgical removal of the eye is often eventually required. Lifetime management and potential surgery typically cost between 1,500 and 6,000 EUR.
