Comparison of risk factors for bilateral and unilateral eye involvement in normal-tension glaucoma.
PURPOSE To compare the risk factors for bilateral and unilateral disease in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS The study analyzed data from consecutive NTG patients with either bilateral (n = 194) or unilateral (n = 193) disease. Multivariate regression models were used to evaluate the following potential risk factors for bilateral eye involvement: age, sex, central corneal thickness, mea...
متن کاملRisk factors for normal-tension glaucoma among subgroups of patients.
OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors for normal-tension glaucoma among subgroups of patients. METHODS In 93 patients with unilateral normal-tension glaucoma, intereye comparison of baseline spherical equivalent, central corneal thickness, untreated intraocular pressure, disc area, and zone beta variables was performed among the following 4 subgroups classified according to age and visual field ...
متن کاملComparison of Risk Factors for Initial Central Scotoma versus Initial Peripheral Scotoma in Normal-tension Glaucoma
PURPOSE To investigate the risk factors for initial central scotoma (ICS) compared with initial peripheral scotoma (IPS) in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS Fifty-six NTG patients (56 eyes) with an ICS and 103 NTG patients (103 eyes) with an IPS were included. Retrospectively, the differences were assessed between the two groups for baseline characteristics, ocular factors, systemic fac...
متن کاملNormal tension glaucoma: risk factors pertaining to a sick eye in a sick body
Since its original description by von Graefe in 1857, normal tension glaucoma (NTG) has remained a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for ophthalmologists. NTG is a clinical condition associated with a pathologically excavated optic disc and characteristic glaucomatous visual field loss. Apart from the intraocular pressure (IOP) being in the statistically ‘normal’ range, the clinical course o...
متن کاملComparison of OCT and HRT Findings Among Normal, Normal Tension Glaucoma, and High Tension Glaucoma
PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements obtained with the optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the Heidelberg retina topography (HRT) in normal, normal tension glaucoma (NTG), and high tension glaucoma (HTG). METHODS Normal, NTG and HTG subjects who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were evaluated retrospectively. One hund...
