SINGAPORE (Jan 11): Immersive technology is increasingly being deployed in various fields other than electronic games and entertainment.

Glaucoma is an eye condition in which the optic nerve is damaged as a result of abnormally high pressure in the eye. If the damage continues, it can cause permanent vision loss.
