The term "Glaucoma" originates from the Greek word "glaukos" (γλαυκῆς), tracing its linguistic roots to the 8th century BC. Historically, "glaukos" was used to describe a range of colors, including blue, grey, and green [1]. Before the advent of ophthalmoscopy, any internal eye condition not apparent externally was often classified as amblyopia or amaurosis.
