English, UK (UE) Also called acute or chronic angle-closure or narrow-angle glaucoma, this type of glaucoma is less common but can cause a sudden buildup of pressure in the eye. Drainage may be poor because the angle between the iris and the cornea (where a drainage channel for the eye is located) is too narrow.

Also called wide-angle glaucoma, this is the most common type of glaucoma. The structures of the eye appear normal, but fluid in the eye does not flow properly through the drain of the eye, called the trabecular meshwork.

the light-sensitive layer of tissue lining the interior of the back of the eye is also known as the macula. It is in the center of the retina.

a light-sensitive part of an eyeball that sends nerve impulses to the brain so a picture of what the eye is seeing can be formed. It's a thin membrane filled with cells that are extremely sensitive to light.

connects the eye to the brain and carries the impulses formed by the retina, the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye and senses light and creates impulses. The optic nerve is the second cranial nerve (emerge from or enter the skull the cranium)
