Glaucoma how typing?

Glaucoma is a very complex disease, Only some, such as the elevation of intraocular pressure and visual function (vision, vision, dark adaptation) barriers, and the visually expansion or contraction of common signs, each with clinical manifestations are different. In order to facilitate research, observe, in 1978 the country will glaucoma collaboration group meeting under the etiology of glaucoma, angle shape, age of onset generally fall into four different types:
1, congenital glaucoma: structural angle before congenital dysplasia, blocking the water from, leading to elevation of intraocular pressure, including the incidence of infant, youth glaucoma.
2, primary glaucoma: unknown pathogenesis of Western medicine. The former is divided into different angle in angle-closure and open-angle two.
3, secondary glaucoma: eye or systemic diseases caused elevation of intraocular pressure thereafter on the basis of open and occluded and the angle at secondary open angle and secondary angle-closure two categories.
4, mixed glaucoma: the existence of two primary glaucoma at the same time, primary and secondary at the same time, or secondary open angle and secondary angle closure glaucoma merger occurred, are this type. As follows:
Glaucoma:
Primary glaucoma
Angle-closure glaucoma
Iris-
Acute angle-closure glaucoma
Chronic angle-closure glaucoma
Iris high-deconvolution
Open-angle glaucoma
Chronic simple glaucoma
The normal tension glaucoma
Secondary glaucoma
Mixed glaucoma
Congenital glaucoma
Infantile Glaucoma
Young glaucoma
Congenital glaucoma with other congenital anomalies
