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