abstract: 'Glaucoma is an optic nerve disorder caused by raised intraocular pressure. Among many drugs and agents causing glaucoma, tobacco has been found to be one of the important agents. It is important for the clinical practitioners as well as the general population to be aware of the ill effects of tobacco on ocular circulation and intra ocular pressure.'
