Glaucoma
HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Definition
Glaucoma refers to a group of disorders that lead to damage to the optic nerve, the nerve that carries visual information from the eye to the brain.
Alternative Names
Open-angle glaucoma; Chronic glaucoma; Closed-angle glaucoma; Congenital glaucoma
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the United States. There are four major types of glaucoma:
- Angle-closure (acute) glaucoma
- Congenital glaucoma
- Open-angle (chronic) glaucoma
- Secondary glaucoma
All four types of glaucoma are characterized by increased pressure within the eyeball, and therefore all can cause progressive damage to the optic nerve.
