👉 Glaucoma, a condition characterized by high intraocular pressure, is caused by an imbalance between the eye's natural fluid and blood vessels. This imbalance can lead to the formation of cataracts, which are cloudy or opaque lenses in the eye that obstruct light transmission. The term "glaucomides" refers to this specific type of glaucoma, as it encompasses a group of symptoms that may be associated with high intraocular pressure.
