Classification

Glaucoma has been classified into specific types:[1]

Primary glaucoma and its variants (H40.1-H40.2)

  • Primary glaucoma
  • Primary open-angle glaucoma, also known as chronic open-angle glaucoma, chronic simple glaucoma, glaucoma simplex
  • Low-tension glaucoma
  • Primary angle-closure glaucoma, also known as primary closed-angle glaucoma, narrow-angle glaucoma, iris- block glaucoma, acute congestive glaucoma
  • Variants of primary glaucoma

Developmental glaucoma (Q15.0)

  • Developmental glaucoma

Secondary glaucoma (H40.3-H40.6)

  • Secondary glaucoma
  • Phacogenic glaucoma
  • Angle-closure glaucoma with mature cataract
  • Phacoanaphylactic glaucoma secondary to rupture of lens capsule
  • Phacolytic glaucoma due to phacotoxic meshwork blockage
  • Subluxation of lens
  • Glaucoma secondary to intraocular hemorrhage
  • Hyphema
  • Hemolytic glaucoma, also known as erythroclastic glaucoma
  • Traumatic glaucoma
  • Angle recession glaucoma: Traumatic recession on anterior chamber angle
  • Postsurgical glaucoma
  • Aphakic pupillary block
  • Ciliary block glaucoma
  • Neovascular glaucoma
  • Drug-induced glaucoma
  • Corticosteroid induced glaucoma
  • Alpha-chymotrypsin glaucoma. Postoperative ocular hypertension from use of alpha chymotrypsin.
  • Glaucoma of miscellaneous origin
  • Associated with intraocular tumors
  • Associated with retinal deatchments
  • Secondary to severe chemical burns of the eye
  • Associated with essential iris atrophy

Absolute glaucoma (H44.5)

  • Absolute glaucoma
