Comparison 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...
متن کاملGlaucoma and CNS. Comparison of fMRI results in high tension and normal tension glaucoma.
AIM The objective of our work was to determine whether there is a difference in fMRI activation between patients with high tension glaucoma (HTG) and those with normal tension glaucoma (NTG). METHOD The sample consisted of eight patients with different stages of high tension glaucoma (3 females aged 41-65 and 5 males aged 40-73 years) and eight patients, also with different stages of normal t...
متن کاملUpdate on Normal Tension Glaucoma
Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is labelled when typical glaucomatous disc changes, visual field defects and open anterior chamber angles are associated with intraocular pressure (IOP) constantly below 21 mmHg. Chronic low vascular perfusion, Raynaud's phenomenon, migraine, nocturnal systemic hypotension and over-treated systemic hypertension are the main causes of normal tension glaucoma. Goldma...
متن کاملSurgery for normal tension glaucoma.
The long term follow up of surgery in normal tension glaucoma is presented. One eye of 18 patients with bilateral progressive disease underwent fistulising surgery. Over follow up periods ranging from 2 to 7 years (50% > or = 5 years) the operated eye showed on average a 30% reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP). This was associated with a marked difference in the rate and number of retinal l...
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 ...
