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
Glaucoma known as anti-VEGF agents. These injectable medications can lead to a dramatic decrease in new vessel formation and, if injected early enough in the disease process, may lead to normalization of intraocular pressure. Currently, there are no high-quality controlled trials demonstrating a beneficial effect of anti-VEGF treatments in lowering IOP in people with neovascular glaucoma. Toxic glaucoma is open-angle glaucoma with an unexplained significant rise of intraocular pressure following unknown pathogenesis. Intraocular pressure can sometimes reach . It characteristically manifests as ciliary body inflammation and massive trabecular oedema that sometimes extends to Schlemm's canal. This condition is differentiated from malignant
