Acute glaucoma attacks cause a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. In addition to ocular symptoms such as redness, visual impairment, and eye pain, it also presents with headache and vomiting. It is diagnosed using a slit lamp microscope, gonioscope, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Objective/purpose: Standardization of eye care data is important for clinical interoperability and research. We aimed to address gaps in the representations of glaucoma examination concepts within Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT), the preferred terminology of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Design: Study of data elements.

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by visual field loss associated with optic nerve damage and ocular hypertension. The biological basis for the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is largely unknown, such that lowering the IOP is currently the only established treatment. Several animal models have been developed to elucidate the mechanism underlying the increased IOP and for use in drug discovery research, but their utility is often limited by the occurrence of severe intraocular inflammation and by technical challenges.

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness globally and is characterized by the gradual loss of retinal ganglion cells. The primary risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma is increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Numerous surgical interventions exist to lower IOP should conservative therapy fail.
