you cant feel it, but rising pressure in the eye can silently steal your sight, a condition called glaucoma. there may be no symptoms until some peripheral vision is lost, so regular eye tests are critical to find it early. in the most common form of glaucoma, too much fluid builds up inside the eye. that increases pressure and damages the optic nerve at the back - the bundle of one million nerve fibres that carry information to the brain. without treatment, glaucoma can cause total blindness.
