SEATTLE, April 29, 2021, (PHARMIWEB) Overview:
Glaucoma is a category of diseases marked by optic nerve injury, visual field loss, and secondary retinal ganglion cell damage, both of which can result in death.
Glaucoma is the world’s second leading cause of blindness and the leading cause of permanent blindness globally, according to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) are the two most common forms of glaucoma. The chance of developing glaucoma rises with age, increased intraocular pressure, a favorable family history of glaucoma, and ethnicity.
