Glaucoma in dogs refers to a group of diseases that affect the optic nerve and involves a loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern. Raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma (above ). Untreated glaucoma in dogs leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness. Canine glaucoma can be divided roughly into two main categories, primary or secondary glaucoma. In dogs, most forms of primary glaucoma are the result of a collapsed filtration angle, or closed angle glaucoma. ==Clinical Signs==
Dog glaucoma often goes unnoticed until it is in a more severe state. There are rarely any symptoms in the early stages of the disease so regular eye checks by qualified veterinary professionals are important. Dogs will sometimes rub the eye if it is painful. An eye affected with glaucoma may be red, swollen, sore, or become clouded in appearance.
