title: [Treatment of glaucomas].
abstract: Glaucomas have to be considered as the final common pathway of various diseases rather than a single disease. Therefore treating glaucomas remains a difficult task since the clinical presentations of the glaucomas are very different without any definite known cause; only some risk factors are believed to lead to the glaucomas. Among these risk factors intraocular pressure is really possible to treat and focuses all our therapeutic attempts. The general practitioner and the ophthalmologist have to work close together to better evaluate the systemic adverse effects of topical medications and to avoid harmful drugs for the outcome of the glaucomas.
