    Abstract:
    The glaucomas are vision-threatening diseases that commonly result in blindness. In addition to knowledge of the at-risk breeds and predisposing factors for glaucoma as well as the clinical signs of the disease, regular IOP screening with tonometry is required to confirm glaucoma and to monitor the status of the eye. Early intervention with a combination of medications that are capable, in a given species, of reducing aqueous production and increasing aqueous outflow as well as potentially reducing progressive neurosensory degeneration is key to the medical management of this disease.
