title: [Ocular structural and functional disturbances, typical for open-angle glaucoma, are the basis for the development of its present-day classification].
abstract: A major breakthrough in the development of clinical studies of the structures and functions of the optic disk (OD) has allowed one to notice the earliest manifestations of open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Along with this, consideration of the data accumulated in the literature on the role of risk factors of glaucoma and on the variants of the clinical course of the disease has enabled the author to suggest to update the OAG classification developed 30 years ago. The proposed schemes use just the procedures currently recommended by the International Glaucoma Association as the most informative ones.
