Press release from: Exactitude Consultancy

Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type of glaucoma, accounting for up to 70% of all glaucoma cases worldwide. It is characterized by progressive optic nerve damage and visual field loss, often associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Because the disease progresses silently, it is frequently diagnosed late, making it a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally.
