Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glaucoma is a condition where there is increased pressure within the eye due to a buildup of aqueous humor. If the aqueous humor circulates but does not drain properly, it can lead to this increased pressure and the development of glaucoma. Myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia are all refractive errors that result from an abnormality in the shape of the eye rather than a problem with aqueous humor drainage.
