Background:

Glaucoma can affect individuals of all ages, including young adults.
Early-stage juvenile glaucoma may present subtle clinical signs.
Untreated glaucoma can lead to irreversible vision impairment and disability.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a case of incipient juvenile glaucoma.
To emphasize the importance of early detection in young adults.
To advocate for comprehensive glaucoma screening across all age groups.

Main Methods:

Case report detailing clinical findings.
Optometric examination for initial screening.
Ophthalmological evaluation for diagnostic confirmation.

Main Results:

Incipient juvenile glaucoma was identified.
Clinical signs suggestive of glaucoma were confirmed.
The case demonstrates the possibility of early glaucoma detection.

Conclusions:

Early detection of juvenile glaucoma is vital for preventing long-term visual impairment.
Optometric and ophthalmological evaluations are key for diagnosis.
Routine glaucoma screening for all patients is recommended to identify at-risk individuals early.
