Even cats get glaucoma

Cats are subject to glaucoma the same way humans are, and it can often lead to blindness. Fortunately, both eyes are not usually affected, and a cat, like a human, can make it through life with only one eye.

The problem with cat glaucoma is that the blind eye bulges very unattractively. Some owners opt for surgery, which involves removing the blind eye and fitting the socket with a silicone false eye.
