Study Notes
Primary Glaucoma Causes
- Closed filtration angle: This is the most common cause of primary glaucoma in dogs. It occurs when the angle between the iris and cornea is narrowed, preventing aqueous humor from draining properly.
- Goniodysgenesis: This is a developmental abnormality where the drainage angle of the eye is abnormal, leading to poor aqueous humor drainage.
