Intraocular pressure and central visual field of normal tension glaucoma.
AIM To study whether damage in the central 30 degrees field of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is relatively heterogeneous or homogeneous with respect to intraocular pressure (IOP) related damage. METHODS Using the results of Humphrey perimeter examinations, the central 30 degrees field was divided into four subfields; superior and inferior hemifields excluding the caecocentral field (30-2 prog...
متن کاملThe influence of intraocular pressure on visual field damage in patients with normal-tension and high-tension glaucoma.
There have been several reports to suggest that the type of visual field damage in open-angle glaucoma is influenced by intraocular pressure (IOP). This study was undertaken to determine the extent to which patients with normal-tension (NTG) and high-tension glaucoma (HTG) could be differentiated on the basis of some features of their visual fields. The results from 40 pairs of NTG and HTG pati...
متن کاملRelationship Between Nocturnal Intraocular Pressure Elevation and Diurnal Intraocular Pressure Level in Normal-Tension Glaucoma Patients.
PURPOSE We studied the relationship between nocturnal habitual position IOP elevation and diurnal IOP level in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients. METHODS A total of 70 young NTG patients with a low diurnal IOP level (mean diurnal seated IOP < 15.0 mm Hg; low IOP group) and 79 age-, axial length-, and disease severity-matched NTG patients with a high diurnal IOP level (mean diurnal seated...
متن کاملEffect of trabeculectomy on visual field progression in Japanese progressive normal-tension glaucoma with intraocular pressure < 15 mmHg
We examined the effectiveness of trabeculectomy in decreasing the slope of mean deviation (MD) in Japanese patients with progressive normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) at low intraocular pressure (IOP) levels. The charts of patients who had undergone initial trabeculectomy with adjunctive mitomycin C for progressive NTG with medically controlled IOP < 15 mmHg in 2010-2013 were retrospectively review...
متن کاملVisual Field Loss Morphology in High- and Normal-Tension Glaucoma
Purpose. To determine whether the patterns of visual field damage between high-tension glaucoma (HTG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) are equivalent. Methods. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, fifty-one NTG and 57 HTG patients were recruited. For each recruited patient only the left eye was chosen. Glaucomatous patients had abnormal visual fields and/or glaucomatous changes at the ...
