 | | In glaucoma the outflow of aqueous fluid is obstructed at the angle of the anterior chamber, and pressure within the eyeball increases. |
 | | Glaucoma usually develops in middle age or later, although congenital, infantile, or juvenile glaucoma is not uncommon. |
 | | Patients with chronic simple glaucoma often have a family history of the disease, in which insidious damage, with loss of field, occurs even though pressure elevation is modest and no symptoms are exhibited. |
