Glaucoma refers to abnormally high intraocular (within the eyeball) pressure, resulting in eye damage and decreased vision. It may be caused by trauma, hemorrhage into the eye, tumor, inflammatory eye disease, or developmental abnormalities during infancy and early childhood. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is characterized by a slowly progressive, bilateral retinal degeneration that often causes blindness.
