青光眼是最常见的慢性视神经病变。虽然传统上认为青光眼是一种眼内压升高的疾病，但现在清楚的是，青光眼主要是一种独特的视神经病变。本文讨论了青光眼的独特特征：视盘形态，视野模式和疾病进展。主要目的是区分青光眼与其他视神经病变，并在这样做，提出一些假说，其病因。
Glaucoma is the most common chronic optic neuropathy. Although traditionally considered a disease of elevated intraocular pressure, it is now clear that glaucoma is primarily a distinctive optic neuropathy. This article discusses the distinctive features of glaucoma: disk morphology, visual field patterns, and disease progression. The primary goal is to distinguish glaucoma from other optic neuropathies and, in so doing, to suggest some hypotheses for its etiology.
