A form of glaucoma in which the pressure of the eye becomes elevated due to the inability of the aqueous fluid to drain properly; specifically, because the iris prevents the fluid from reaching the anterior chamber drainage tissue (trabecular meshwork). The drainage tissue functions normally but the iris blocks the passage of the fluid. |
