Glaucoma Types

The natural flow of fluid inside our eyes is coming from behind the pupil, and it circulates to be drained mostly in angle in the front of the eye and then through smaller channels to outside the eye

THERE ARE TWO MAIN SUB-GROUPS OF PRIMARY GLAUCOMA:

1- Open Angle GLaucoma

Despite the angle of the eye being wide and open, the tiny microscopic drainage channels outside the angle are blocked. This leads to what we call open angle glaucoma, which is a slowly progressive condition, and because it is a slow process, it can often be missed, This is what we call “the silent thief of sight”
2- angle closure glaucoma

(also known as closed angle glaucoma): occurs more rapidly when the flow of fluid inside the eye cannot pass through the
narrow angle in the front of the eye, where drainage usually
occurs, causing a rapid rise in pressure inside the eye.

THERE ARE OTHER 2 ENTITIES WITH SOME RESEMBLANCE TO GLAUCOMA

Ocular hypertension occurs when the pressure of the eye is repeatedly measured as being high, and yet the eye displays no signs of glaucoma damage. Normal tension glaucoma (normal pressure glaucoma) is the opposite, where the nerve at the back of the eye shows signs of glaucoma damage and yet the pressure is always recorded as being within normal limits.

THERE ARE SOME EYE DISEASES WHICH CAN RESULT IN SECONDARY GLAUCOMA

Among these are eye inflammatioon, the growth of new vessels inside the eye, which may occur in connection with diabetes or after vascular occlusions at the back of the eye
