    Symptoms of primary open-angle glaucoma can be divided into main and accessory and risk factors. The main symptoms are increased intraocular pressure and changes in the visual field and optic disk characteristic of glaucoma. The accessory symptoms and risk factors are a family history of glaucoma, diabetes mellitus, myopia, poor discharge of aqueous humor, pseudoexfoliative syndrome, elements of goniodysgenesis and depositions of pigmented granules in the anterior chamber corner, and asymmetric intraocular pressure, humor discharge, and extent of optic disk excavation. Causes and diagnosis of nonglaucomatous hypertension and normal-pressure glaucoma are discussed.
