Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to your eye's optic nerve and gets worse over time. It's often linked to a buildup of pressure inside your eye. Glaucoma tends to be inherited and may not show up until later in life.
There are four main types of glaucoma: 1  chronic open-angle glaucoma â the most common type which often has few symptoms. 2  acute angle-closure glaucoma â which often has severe symptoms. 3  secondary glaucoma â caused by other conditions or eye treatments.  developmental glaucoma â a rare condition affecting young babies.
