Early Diagnosis of Chronic Simple Glaucoma

Pages 148-151 | Published online: 06 Jul 2016
 

Abstract

Chronic simple glaucoma affects approximately 2 per cent of persons more than 40 years of age. The disease should be diagnosed by suspicion in this age group, especially in the presence of family history of eye disease, structural defects such as a small cornea or shallow anterior chamber, or vague ocular symptoms. Diagnosis may be confirmed only by tonometry. If discovered in its early stages, the condition usually may be controlled with miotic therapy.
