A severe, early-onset form of this disease is developed by half the children who suffer from Sturge-Weber syndrome. Pigment cells can slough off in a rare form of this disease called pigment dispersion syndrome. It's not dry mouth, but pilocarpine acts on a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor to treat this disease. This disease can be surgically treated through a canaloplasty or a trabeculetomy. Inuits have a severely increased risk of developing the (*) closed-angle type of this disease, whose open-angle type is common in elderly people; in both cases, aqueous humor drainage is impaired, leading to increased intraocular pressure and progressive vision loss via damage to the optic nerve. For 10 points, name this disease that is the second leading cause of blindness, after cataracts.
