Canine glaucoma old. These types of glaucoma are due to abnormalities in the structures of the eye which occurred during ocular development. One or both eyes may be affected. Primary glaucomas occur in the absence of other eye disease, and are therefore presumed to be genetic in origin. The most common type of glaucoma in dogs is primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). The least common type of glaucoma in dogs is primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), although this is the most common type that affects humans. In the Beagle, POAG is an inherited autosomal recessive trait. Secondary glaucomas occur when other eye diseases alter
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery to augment outflow to the suprachoroidal space in order to control intraocular pressure; it is indicated for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma. The stent is implanted through an ab interno approach and inserted into the supraciliary space (between the ciliary body and sclera), effectively creating a controlled cyclodialysis cleft, which is kept open by the device. The first clinical data on the device was presented in 2010 showed sustained IOP lowering and MIGS-like safety profile. This has been substantiated in subsequent studies in the combined setting with cataract surgery and as a stand-alone treatment for patients failing glaucoma topical
