[Methods used and abandoned in glaucoma].
The discovery of the disease called glaucoma dates back to the 17th century. Its important role as a cause of blindness has been known since the 19th century. Initial comprehension of this pathogenesis and treatment belong to the 20th century. Its prevention will hopefully be the work of the 21st century.
