This report suggests a new method of classifying glaucoma based upon the appearance of the optic nerve. One subdivision of this classification, focal glaucoma, is discussed in some detail. As is true for all classifications, the system proposed will not be a permanent one. Nor is it intended to be all inclusive. Its purpose is not to replace the system which at present is based on the mechanism for intraocular pressure elevation, i.e., angle-closure glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma, etc., but rather to provide a means by which various subtypes of glaucoma can be better differentiated.
本报告提出了一种基于视神经外观对青光眼进行分类的新方法。这种分类的一个细分，即局灶性青光眼，将进行较为详细的讨论。与所有分类一样，所提出的系统不会是永久性的。它也并非旨在涵盖所有情况。其目的不是取代目前基于眼压升高机制的系统，即闭角型青光眼、开角型青光眼等，而是提供一种能更好地区分青光眼各种亚型的方法。
