Description: In most cases, glaucoma is of a ‘primary’ form, meaning that there is no identifiable cause for high pressure or the development of glaucoma. A ‘secondary’ glaucoma, on the other hand, occurs where there is an underlying ophthalmic or medical condition that predisposes to the development of high eye pressure. This booklet explains possible causes and treatments for secondary glaucoma.
