It is a very common type of glaucoma, it happens to every elderly person who suffers from chronic disease. Here the eye pressure gradually increases over time and starts damaging the optic nerve. But the patient won't feel it. The open-angle glaucoma is pretty generic. It means you will be at
higher risk if your parents or grandparents had open-angle glaucoma. The outcome of optic nerve damage is patients see a blind spot in their vision.
