Glaucoma Opaque specks may occur in the lens in glaucoma, known as glaukomflecken. Of the several causes for glaucoma, ocular hypertension (increased pressure within the eye) is the most important risk factor in most glaucomas, but in some populations, only 50% of people with primary open-angle glaucoma actually have elevated ocular pressure. Open-angle glaucoma accounts for 90% of glaucoma cases in the United States. Closed-angle glaucoma accounts for less than 10% of glaucoma cases in the United States, but as many as half of glaucoma cases in other nations (particularly East Asian countries).

Varicella zoster virus is known to recur (after its initial presentation as chicken pox) as herpes zoster ("shingles").
