With glaucoma, fluid pressure builds up and damage to the eye can result in blindness.

The longer the pressure in the eye is elevated, the more damage occurs to the structures in the eye responsible for vision, eventually resulting in permanent blindness.

Glaucoma is a common condition in which the fluid pressure inside your pet's eye increases, resulting in damage to the optic nerve, followed by loss of vision and blindness.

Because the pressure is elevated in the eye, it can cause damage to the retina and optic nerve, ultimately resulting in blindness.

The possible results of long - term elevated blood pressure in your dog or cat include kidney, heart and eye damage (ie, visual problems, large pupils, retinal detachment, blood leakage into the eye).

Cats with chronic kidney disease are at risk of developing high blood pressure and this can have a number of damaging effects including acute blindness / blood accumulation in eyes, strain on heart muscle, and worsening of the kidney disease.
