Le glaucome chez le mélanoderme

Much less marginal in France than believed, glaucoma in the melanoderm patient comes early in life, with a more aggressive progression leading to blindness twice as often as in the Caucasian patient. Generally open-angle glaucoma, it may be related to anatomical ocular characteristics of the Black population. Its management is not very different from that of glaucoma in the Caucasian patient.
