the eye, which is characterized by periodic or constant
increase in intraocular pressure with the further development of typical
visual defects, as well as a gradual decrease in vision and
possible optic atrophy.
In medicine, there are 2 main forms of glaucoma: angle-closure
and open. In addition, the innate, juvenile,
secondary glaucoma, which may be associated with a variety of

Glaucoma – diagnosis of the disease
In the diagnosis of glaucoma, determining the level of
and regulation of intraocular pressure. The following methods are distinguished.
diagnostics: – measurement of intraocular pressure using
tonometry and elastotonometry; – study of intraocular outflow
liquids using tonography; – study of the visual field when
using a variety of perimetry techniques.
Glaucoma – methods of treatment and prevention
Any treatment for glaucoma is aimed at normalizing
intraocular pressure. Modern medicine offers 3

Great attention is paid to the prevention of glaucoma, since

Preventive measures usually start at age 40 (if
