Four cases with glaucomatous damage to the optic nerve head preceding a rise in intraocular pressure from normal or borderline to high values, are reported. The question of whether such cases are exceptional or typical and, therefore, best explained by a coincidence of diseases or by one disease going through successive stages is discussed on the basis of 10 further cases from a population study.
