Glaucoma is a significant global health problem. As of the year 2000, 67 million people worldwide were affected with “primary” glaucoma. Of these patients, 6.7 million were bilaterally blind. Glaucoma is second only to cataracts as a cause of blindness worldwide. In the United States, where glaucoma accounts for 11% of all cases of blindness, it is the

This alteration causes an increase in the intraocular pressure at pathological rates, which after some time causes anatomical damage to the optic nerve and functional damage to the visual field: characteristic of glaucoma.
