Abstract

Glaucoma is a complex eye condition characterized by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) that may progress to vision loss over time. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of permanent blindness in the United States and occurs most often in older adults. Glaucoma can be categorized into either primary or secondary types and further into open-angle or closed-angle variants within each type of glaucoma. Adult glaucoma includes primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and angle-closure glaucoma, as well as secondary open and angle-closure glaucoma, with a specific focus on the most prevalent type, POAG.
