Glaucoma is not just an unique affliction but a group of afflictions that have in common optic nerve damage and loss of visual field. The 2 main types of glaucoma are POAG and PACG. AS early stages of glaucoma are largely asymptomatic, patients tend to seek help rather late, especially in low-income countries. Once vision is lost, no matter what type of glaucoma is involved, it cannot be done anything to restore it!!!
