In glaucoma detection and management, it is important to recognise forms other than primary open angle glaucoma(POAG). These would include angle closure glaucoma and various common and not-so-common secondary glaucomas. These conditions may afflict patients differing from the POAG demographic, such as younger patients, and may have a greater risk for visual disability.
