What is the most common form of glaucoma?

Optic Nerve Glaucoma
Open-angle Glaucoma
Closed-angle Glaucoma
Congenital Glaucoma

The correct answer is: Open-angle Glaucoma

Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma, accounting for around 70-90% of all cases. This is followed by closed-angle glaucoma which makes up about 10-30% of cases. Optic nerve glaucoma and congenital glaucoma are less common types, accounting for a smaller percentage of cases. It is important to note that while open-angle glaucoma is the most common form, it does not mean it is the only form of glaucoma and all other forms are incorrect. It is still important to consult with a doctor to properly diagnose and treat any type of glaucoma.
