    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a group of diseases characterized by retinal ganglion cell loss, optic disc cupping, and visual field defects.
    • It is a major cause of irreversible blindness, affecting millions globally.
    • Projections indicate a significant increase in glaucoma cases worldwide by 2040.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of glaucoma classification.
    • To discuss the fundamental genetic factors involved in glaucoma.

    Main Methods:

    • This is a review article.
    • Information was gathered from existing literature on glaucoma classification and genetics.

    Main Results:

    • Glaucoma encompasses diverse disease subtypes.
    • Genetic factors play a crucial role in the development of glaucoma.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding glaucoma classification and genetics is essential for managing this blinding condition.
    • Further research into genetic basics may offer new therapeutic avenues.
