There are many types of glaucoma, all of which are related to an elevation of pressure inside the eye. The most common is primary open-angle glaucoma (PAOG), which usually has no symptoms but can cause damage leading to partial or complete vision loss. Another common type is angle-closure glaucoma, which is normally hereditary and can affect vision acutely.
