It is often, but not always, associated with increased pressure of the fluid in the eye.

Topics discussed in this compilation include medical treatment in chronic open-angle glaucoma; melatonin as a therapeutic resource for the management of glaucoma; ocular tissue changes and glaucoma treatment; secondary uveitic glaucoma; selective laser trabeculoplasty and parasurgical treatment of glaucoma.
