title: Canine glaucoma: pathophysiology and diagnosis.
abstract: Canine glaucoma encompasses a diverse group of diseases associated with an increase in intraocular pressure that results in retinal ganglion cell death and eventual blindness. Dogs may have congenital, primary, or secondary glaucoma. The diagnosis is made by recognizing clinical signs, interpreting ophthalmic examination findings, and determining intraocular pressure. Identifying the underlying cause of the glaucoma is essential to providing appropriate treatment recommendations.
