Abstract
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness and the aim of all glaucoma treatments is to lower intraocular pressure (IOP), the only modifiable risk factor. This article summarises the identification and management of open‐angle and closed‐angle glaucoma, including medical, laser and surgical treatment options.
