Increase In Glaucoma Risk

Found in A-Bomb survivors.  Glaucoma is a disease of increased intra-ocular pressure that can lead to damage to the optic nerve and eventual blindness.  Normal-tension glaucoma has the same symptoms except the intra-ocular pressure is not elevated.  Normal-tension glaucoma is very common in Japan.
