• Resumen

  • There are 2 main types of glaucoma: open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. These are descriptions of 2 different problems with eye anatomy. Both cause too much fluid to collect within the eye, which can increase pressure in the eye and eventually damage the optic nerve. Some patients with open-angle glaucoma do not have high pressure in the eye.
