Glaucoma Hypersecretory

Hyposecretory glaucoma (lat. glaucoma hyposecretoria) is an ophthalmological disease characterized by damage to the hydrodynamics of the eye due to impaired outflow of aqueous humor, which results in an increase in intraocular pressure. The development of glaucoma can be based on any violation of the patency of the anterior chamber angle. The development of hyposecretory glaucoma occurs due to infiltrative and vascular processes in the iris and ciliary body. Hypesecretory glaucoma is an irreversible, progressive, irreversible disease with a high risk of visual impairment, requiring constant increased attention to detail and daily monitoring of patients.



For the first time, hypersecretion (increased formation of aqueous humor) of the eye fluid and an increase in its production compared to the norm was observed and described by J. Muller (1852) and W. Gull (1872), but the diagnosis of glaucoma was erroneous. The only true cause of the disease was the raised upper marginal incision of the eyeball. Hypersecretion of the eye is a physiological property of the lacrimal gland, which can produce aqueous humor with a high electrolyte content 1–3 times more than normal and hyper
