Glaucoma Risk Factors: Intraocular Pressure

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

For the first time, glaucoma was described as a blinding disease associated with high intraocular pressure (IOP) by the Persian physician Ali ibn Rabban at-Tabari (810-861 C.E.) in the writings Firdaws al hikma (Paradise of Wisdom).1 This association was later pointed out by Richard Banister of England in his 1622 A treatise of one hundred and thirteen diseases of eye: “If one feele the Eye by rubbing upon the Eie-lids, that the Eye be growne more solid and hard than naturally it should be… the humour settled in the hollow nerves be growne to any solid or hard substance, it is not possible to be cured.”2 In the 1800s, the Dutch ophthalmologist Franciscus C. Donders coined the expression “simple glaucoma” for increased IOP occurring without any inflammatory symptoms.
