B.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Difference between open-angle and angle-closure Glaucoma in terms of pathology manifestations and treatment.

Introduction: Glaucoma is a pressure-induced degenerative neuropathy in which leads to changes in the optic nerve and visual field loss. The damage of the optic nerve is caused by high pressure in the eye. The Glaucoma is classified into Open-angle and Angle-closure glaucoma.
