Glaucoma can not be diagnosed by examining fovea. optic disc cup ratio is to be seen. other important test for glaucoma are field mapping, measurement of ocular tension, gonioscopy to examine anterior chamber. in glaucoma there is field constriction resulting in tubular vision. in acute congestive glaucoma there is ciliary congestion and sevior pain mainly slow develop ment of tubular visionarcus senilis is degenerative sign have no clinicalsignificance accordingly you can have investigation completed. if some indication of glaucoma then treatment can be started
