Glaucoma Pathology

Technically, glaucoma is diagnosed based on a number of factors, including changes in the optic nerve, increased intraocular pressure (IOP), and/or changes in peripheral vision. In the healthy eye, aqueous humor is produced and drained from the eye into the bloodstream at a constant rate so that you always have a fresh supply in the right amount. Aqueous humor drains through the trabecular meshwork. Sometimes, too much aqueous humor is produced, and the eye can't get rid of it fast enough to maintain what is called "normal intraocular pressure."

Sometimes the drainage mechanism is faulty, the fluid can't escape fast enough to keep pressure at normal levels. Blockage in the trabecular meshwork or in the canal itself may occur. Either way, the abnormal high-pressure that results is called intraocular hypertension. The increased pressure can damage the optic nerve, first affecting side or peripheral vision, leaving central or straight-ahead vision perfectly normal. If left untreated, the high-pressure can eventually affect central vision, leading to blindness.

What is considered to be normal intraocular pressure (IOP) for a patient may vary. People may have signs of damage yet have normal or even low IOP.

Corneal thickness and corneal hysteresis also play a role in determining the proper IOP for a patient. For example, a patient with a thicker cornea is more resistant to glaucoma, and higher than normal eye pressure may be normal for them, but a thinner cornea in the mid-to-upper normal IOP range may be considered dangerous and too high for that patient.
