Is glaucoma inherited?

Glaucoma is a disease caused by the progressive increase of intraocular pressure caused by the outflow of aqueous humor in the eye, and then damage to the optic nerve. Generally, it can be divided into primary glaucoma and secondary glaucoma. If the patient belongs to secondary glaucoma, because it belongs to acquired formation, it generally does not occur genetic. However, if the patient belongs to primary glaucoma, it may occur genetic because it has a certain genetic tendency.

The

patient should appropriately reduce the eye time in daily life and cooperate with clinical treatment in time to reduce intraocular pressure and improve visual function.
