Diagnostic Tests (6 topics)
 1. Corneal pachymetry
 2. Examination of the optic nerve at the slit-lamp biomicroscope with a handheld lens
 

3. Examination of the optic nerve head by direct ophthalmoscopy

 4. Examination of the optic nerve head by indirect ophthalmoscopy
 5. Gonioscopy
 6. Standard automated static perimetry
 
Open-Angle Glaucomas (11 topics)
 7. Elevated episcleral venous pressure
