Many people around the world have lost their vision due to Glaucoma.

Open vs Closed Angle Glaucoma: Key differences <\/h2>\n\n\n

Glaucoma<\/a> is a serious eye condition that requires quick medical attention from a licensed specialist.

The two major types of Glaucoma<\/a> are Open Angle Glaucoma<\/a> (OAG) and Closed Angle Glaucoma (CAG). 

The most common type of Glaucoma is OAG, while CAG is a rare type of Glaucoma.

In OAG, the drainage angle produced by the iris and cornea stays open.

The drainage angle produced by the cornea and iris is also closed or restricted in the case of CAG.

OAG is a painless eye disorder that affects both eyes, whereas CAG normally affects one eye.

If you are having OAG or CAG, you must seek medical attention immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n
