As the nerve fibers in the optic nerve gradually deteriorate, you will experience blind spots in your vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optic nerve damage in glaucoma is usually the result of increased pressure in the eye, which is caused by a buildup of fluid (also called aqueous humour) in the eye. In a healthy eye, this fluid normally circulates within the eye and drains out through a tissue called the trabecular meshwork, located at the angle between the iris and the cornea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overproduction or improper drainage of the aqueous humour increases in the eye pressure because the fluid is not flowing out at its normal rate, and this increase in pressure damages the optic nerve.<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n  <style>\n\n    #block_cf1e4af8809d90b38dcb1fd2462a394d {\n      background-position: center center;\n      background-size: cover;\n    }\n\n          @media screen and (min-width: 0) { #block_cf1e4af8809d90b38dcb1fd2462a394d { background-image: url(https:\/\/preserflo.glaukos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/the-big-eye-mobile.jpg); } }\n              @media screen and (min-width: 768px) { #block_cf1e4af8809d90b38dcb1fd2462a394d { background-image: url(https:\/\/preserflo.glaukos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/the-big-eye-tablet.jpg); } }\n              @media screen and (min-width: 1024px) { #block_cf1e4af8809d90b38dcb1fd2462a394d { background-image: url(https:\/\/preserflo.glaukos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/the-big-eye-desktop.jpg); } }\n              @media screen and (min-width: 1420px) { #block_cf1e4af8809d90b38dcb1fd2462a394d { background-image: url(https:\/\/preserflo.glaukos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/the-big-eye-desktophd.jpg); } }\n      <\/style>\n\n<div id=\"block_cf1e4af8809d90b38dcb1fd2462a394d\"class=\"big-number-listing bg-dark-blue-gradient \">\n<div class=\"site-width\">\n  <div>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading small-underline\">Types of Glaucoma<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several types of glaucoma, including<sup>1,3<\/sup>:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n          <div class=\"number-listing-items flex_t\">\n                      <div class=\"number-listing-item flex\">\n          <div class=\"big-number\">1<\/div>\n          <p>Primary open-angle glaucoma<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"number-listing-item flex\">\n          <div class=\"big-number\">2<\/div>\n          <p>Angle-closure  glaucoma<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"number-listing-item flex\">\n          <div class=\"big-number\">3<\/div>\n          <p>Pigmentary glaucoma<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"number-listing-item flex\">\n          <div class=\"big-number\">4<\/div>\n          <p>Secondary glaucoma<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"number-listing-item flex\">\n          <div class=\"big-number\">5<\/div>\n          <p>Normal-tension  glaucoma<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n  \n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section id=\"section-block_a8b8b7cd59a4049389e49ff047aa2199\" class=\"section  section-section \">\n  <div class=\"inner site-width\">\n    \n\n<p class=\"txt-h4-size\">1. Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common form of glaucoma. The eye is constantly circulating and draining fluid, called aqueous humor. When there is a build-up of aqueous humor in the eye due to over-production or improper drainage, it puts pressure on the optic nerve which can lead to a loss of vision over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"txt-h4-size\">2. Angle-Closure Glaucoma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angle-closure glaucoma, also known as closed-angle or narrow angle glaucoma, is less common. It occurs when the drainage angle in the eye closes or becomes blocked, preventing aqueous humor from draining. Angle-closure glaucoma can occur gradually or suddenly and is typically considered a medical emergency because it can cause vision loss within one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"txt-h4-size\">3. Pigmentary Glaucoma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pigmentary glaucoma occurs when pigment granules from the iris build up in the eye\u2019s drainage channels and block or reduce fluid drainage. Activities such as jogging can sometimes cause the pigment granules to move around to cause this blockage, resulting in intermittent eye pressure elevations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"txt-h4-size\">4. Secondary Glaucoma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondary glaucoma can develop in response to external factors, such as injury, infection, tumor, or medication, causing the intraocular pressure to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"txt-h4-size\">5. Normal-Tension Glaucoma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In normal-tension glaucoma, the optic nerve is damaged, but the intraocular pressure stays within the normal range. Not much is known about why this type of glaucoma occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"split-section-block_850375a278561379dc0978a5e7ba0a11\"class=\"split-section  bg-dark-blue-gradient\">\n<div class=\"flex_t left align-top\">\n  <div class=\"flex split-section-col split-section__content-side\">\n    <div class=\"split-section-content\">\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading small-underline\">Glaucoma in Children<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Children and infants may have glaucoma, which can either be present from birth or develop in the first few years of life.
