Glaucoma Screening & Diagnosis
Early detection protects the optic nerve and preserves sight. Learn who should be screened and what testing involves.

Glaucoma Risk Calculator
A free, private, in-depth tool using published risk factors, family history, corneal thickness, race/ethnicity, eye pressure, and more, to help you understand your risk profile.
Calculate Your Risk →
Open-Angle Glaucoma
The most common form of glaucoma, a slow, silent, progressive form of optic nerve damage.
Learn More →Common Glaucomas
Narrow-Angle Glaucoma
A narrowed drainage angle that can suddenly close, causing a dangerous spike in eye pressure, a true ocular emergency.
Learn More →
Ocular Hypertension
Elevated eye pressure without optic nerve damage, the single biggest risk factor for developing glaucoma.
Learn More →
Normal-Tension Glaucoma
Optic nerve damage and vision loss despite eye pressure that measures in the normal range.
Learn More →Plateau Iris Syndrome
An angle-closure variant that stays narrow even after a laser iridotomy, because the angle is crowded by the anatomy behind the iris.
Learn More →Secondary & Structural Glaucomas
Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma
Flaky protein deposits clog the eye's natural drainage system, one of the most common secondary glaucomas worldwide.
Learn More →Pigment Dispersion Glaucoma
Pigment released from the iris clogs the drainage angle, most often in young, nearsighted adults.
Learn More →Neovascular Glaucoma
Abnormal blood vessel growth from diabetes or retinal vein occlusion causes an aggressive, urgent glaucoma.
Learn More →Combined Mechanism Glaucoma
When angle-closure and open-angle glaucoma coexist in the same eye, both need treatment.
Learn More →Traumatic & Angle Recession Glaucoma
Blunt eye trauma can silently damage the drainage angle, causing glaucoma years or decades later.
Learn More →Lens-Induced Glaucoma
An advanced, swollen, or injured cataract itself drives eye pressure dangerously high. Prompt cataract surgery is usually the cure.
Learn More →ICE Syndrome
Abnormal corneal cells spread across the drainage angle and iris, causing glaucoma and corneal swelling, usually in one eye of a younger adult.
Learn More →Inflammatory & Infectious Glaucomas
Uveitic Glaucoma
Inflammation inside the eye can block the drainage angle and raise eye pressure.
Learn More →Herpetic Glaucoma (HSV)
Herpes simplex virus can inflame the eye's drainage tissue, causing sudden pressure spikes.
Learn More →Shingles-Related Glaucoma
Shingles affecting the eye (herpes zoster ophthalmicus) can cause severe, prolonged glaucoma.
Learn More →Posner-Schlossman Syndrome
Recurring attacks of very high eye pressure in one eye, often returning to normal between episodes.
Learn More →Medication & Surgery-Related Glaucomas
Steroid-Induced Glaucoma
Steroids taken by any route, drops, pills, inhalers, nasal sprays, or skin creams, can raise eye pressure.
Learn More →Medications That Can Cause Glaucoma
Steroids, topiramate, decongestants, calcium channel blockers, and more, which medications affect your eye pressure.
Learn More →UGH Syndrome (Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphema)
When a lens implant rubs the iris after cataract surgery, it can cause recurring inflammation, high eye pressure, and bleeding.
Learn More →Glaucoma After Cataract Surgery
Retained lens fragments, inflammation, or steroid drops can raise eye pressure after cataract surgery.
Learn More →Malignant Glaucoma
A rare but serious post-surgical glaucoma (aqueous misdirection) in which fluid is diverted backward, shallowing the eye and raising pressure.
