Abstract
Glaucoma is a common eye condition which involves optic nerve damage, resulting in progressive peripheral vision loss. It is most commonly caused by raised intraocular pressure (IOP), therefore most medical and surgical treatments aim to lower the IOP by either reducing production or increasing drainage of aqueous humour in the anterior chamber of the eye. It is important to note that glaucoma management is centred around prevention of further vision loss rather than restoration of vision that has already been lost, and thus early diagnosis and management are paramount.
