What happens during the disease - other glaucoma
Other glaucoma is a type of glaucoma that is caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, inflammation, tumors, and medications. it is characterized by increased intraocular pressure, which can lead to optic nerve damage and vision loss. it is believed that the increased intraocular pressure is caused by obstruction of the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, which can be due to a variety of factors including inflammation, tumor growth, and blockage of the trabecular meshwork. treatment of other glaucoma typically involves medications, laser treatments, and/or surgery to reduce intraocular pressure and prevent further vision loss.
