Glaucoma is an eye disorder in which the optic nerve suffers damage, permanently im- pacting vision in the affected eyes and progressing to complete blindness if left un- treated. It is often, but not always, associated with increased pressure of the aqueous humor in the eye. Due to its seriousness it is important to develop a therapeutic plan which is based on reducing the intraocular pressure. It is essential to evaluate the clinical situation of the patient affected by glaucoma correctly, in order to choose the most ap- propriate treatment for their condition. The aim of this study is to investigate current treatments for glaucoma and describe the new therapeutic approaches still being tested.
