Age is an important risk factor for primary glaucoma. While the specific mechanism of primary glaucoma remained unclear, the change of ocular anatomy, the disturbance of aqueous humor balance, the change of ocular biomechanics and the disorder of neurometabolism contribute to the occurrence and development of primary glaucoma. This paper reviewes the latest studies on the correlation between age and the risk factors of glaucoma in the above four aspects, so as to provide some references for the in-depth discussion of the pathophysiology of primary glaucoma, and advancement on diagnosis, treatment and research of primary glaucoma.
