Diurnal blood pressure parameters in normal tension glaucoma, primary open angle glaucoma, and healthy subjects

OBJECTIVE The pathophysiology of glaucoma is still undisclosed. Cardiovascular hemodynamic changes are hypothesized to contribute to glaucoma. This study aimed to determine the differences in the diurnal blood pressure (BP) of patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG), primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and controls without glaucoma. METHODS A total of 129 patients were included in this st...

Primary open-angle glaucoma vs normal-tension glaucoma: the vascular perspective.

OBJECTIVE To compare and contrast the presence of ocular and systemic vascular function in patients with newly diagnosed and previously untreated primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) vs those with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and comparable early-stage, functional loss. METHODS The systemic vascular function of 19 patients with POAG, 19 patients with NTG, and 20 healthy individuals serving as ...

Comparison of localised nerve fibre layer defects in normal tension glaucoma and primary open angle glaucoma.

AIM To compare the pattern of localised nerve fibre layer (NFL) defects in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS 50 NTG eyes and 36 POAG eyes, all with localised NFL defects, were enrolled. On retinal NFL photography, the proximity of the defect to the centre of the fovea (angle alpha) and the sum of the angular width of the defects (angle beta) were de...

Prevalence of normal-tension glaucoma and primary open-angle glaucoma in patients with collagen diseases.

PURPOSE To investigate the prevalence of normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients with collagen diseases and determine whether an immunocompromised condition is present in a subset of glaucoma patients. METHODS Three glaucoma specialists prospectively examined patients with collagen diseases. The diagnostic process included applanation tonometry, slit-l...

Corneal thickness in ocular hypertension, primary open-angle glaucoma, and normal tension glaucoma.

OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of central corneal thickness (CCT) on the measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) and on the resultant reclassification of patients as having primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), normal tension glaucoma (NTG), or ocular hypertension (OHT). METHODS Intraocular pressure (Goldmann applanation tonomety) and CCT (ultrasound pachymetry) were measured in 22 patien...
