Abstract

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide and the first in an irreversible way, many of the studies and investigations are concentrated in methods of control and treatment, however, there are few studies carried out in the areas of prevention and early detection of glaucoma, so, in this research presents the effect of increased intraocular pressure in the optic nerve, especially in damage caused in the layer of nerve fibers and their impact with the visual field, To do this, you work with background images of human eye, obtained from the Clinic “Santa Lucia”, digital image processing to characterize parameters that determine a presumptive diagnosis of glaucoma suspect, the results are presented to specialists for a medical diagnosis.
