Glaucoma is a progressive form of optic neuropathy that is characterised by structural changes to the optic nerve head (ONH) and corresponding patterns of functional visual field (VF) loss.

It has been suggested that local ischemia or mechanical damage from a raised intraocular pressure (IOP) resulting in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss may have a role in its
