Suspected glaucoma: who is who?

Abstract

Glaucoma is the second cause of blindness worldwide, being the first cause of irreversible blindness. It is estimated that in 2040 there will be around 111.8 million patients with glaucoma, reaching a 3.5% prevalence in patients between 40 and 80 years old; This situation can be preventable if we can identify early the cases at risk of developing the disease, who correspond to the suspected diagnosis of glaucoma.
