What Are the Types of Glaucoma?

There are two types of glucoma:

Open-angle glaucoma.This type of glucoma is mostly common type. Doctor may diagnose it wide-angle glaucoma. The drain structure in our eye which is called the trabecular meshwork -- looks normal, but fluid doesn’t flow out like it should.

Angle-closure glaucoma. This type of glaucoma is less common in Asia. You may also call it acute or chronic angle-closure or narrow-angle glaucoma. The aqueous humour doesn’t flow right because the angle between iris and cornea is too narrow. This can cause a sudden increase of pressure in eye.
