The most common misconception with Glaucoma is that it is considered a diagnosis if only high intraocular pressure (IOP) is present, which is not always the case. In fact, many Glaucoma cases have low pressure.
It is for this reason that the work-up for Glaucoma involves numerous different analysis of the optic nerve and fluid outflow of the eye for proper diagnosis and analysis for Glaucoma progression. Of course, pressure is still a very important indicator that is typically used as a measuring tool for the disease, but its definitely not the only measurement used for diagnosis and treatment.
