Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Vaughan & Asbury's General Ophthalmology, 19e AB - Glaucoma is an acquired chronic optic neuropathy characterized by optic disk cupping and visual field loss. It is usually associated with raised intraocular pressure. There are different types of glaucoma, which helps to explain, for example, why one patient with glaucoma may have no symptoms, while another experiences sudden pain and inflammation. In the majority of cases, there is no associated ocular disease (primary glaucoma) (Table 11–1).
