How do you get rid of glaucoma?
You can either be born with glaucoma (congenital) and this can be the primary disease or a secondary one. In the case of it being secondary, it could for example be secondary as part of a rare condition called Axenfelds Anomoly, where the primary is about underdeveloped bones, usually jaws, and teeth can be missing as a result. Though in such a case glaucoma is the secondary part of the problem, it is the first to be diagnosed and is by far the more serious of the two. Glaucoma can also be hereditary, this could apply to congenital glaucoma or otherwise. The otherwise then would be developing glaucoma in old age. This is less serious than congenital glaucoma in that it is less aggressive and does not have to be treated for the persons entire life.
