Glaucoma is a potentially blinding ocular disease that commonly affects elderly persons. In this review, we discuss the range of clinical findings, appropriate diagnostic tests, and available medical, laser, and surgical treatment options. New developments in the evaluation of the optic nerve and in visual field testing may facilitate the early detection of glaucoma, and new therapeutic agents hold promise for the future.
