1.2. Outflow and intraocular pressure The major risk factor and only currently treatable parameter for glaucoma is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) (Stamer and Acott, 2012). Although normal-tension glaucoma is a significant portion of POAG, all of our studies and discussion herein will be focus...
Intraocular pressureNormal-tension glaucomaSouth KoreaProgressionRisk factor0.29). The mean IOP that best discriminated stable patients was ≤15mmHg, but no statistical difference existed in the numbers of progressed versus stable patients at ≤15mmHg compared to >15mmHg (=0.07). Multivariate regression...
Glaucoma can result in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and permanently damaged vision. Pathologically high intraocular pressure (ph-IOP) is the leading cause of damaged vision during glaucoma; however, controlling ph-IOP alone does not entirely prevent the loss of glaucomatous RGCs, and the unde...
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is subdivided depending on eye pressure. Patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) have never had high intraocular pressure (IOP) measured while patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) have high eye pressure but no signs of glaucoma. Although IOP is considered ...
Equatorial and axial dimensions are increased , the cornea is flattened , and the eyes develop reduced outflow facility and increased intra-ocular pressure. This . fascinating model of avian glaucoma has been reviewed recently by Lauber.36 It has also been reported that dark-rearing results in ...
Methods: One hundred seventy-three ocular hypertensive eyes, 116 "preperimetric" open-angle glaucoma eyes (glaucomatous optic disc atrophy, elevated intraocular pressure, no visual field defects in standard white-on-white perimetry), 199 "perimetric" open-angle glaucoma eyes (glaucomatous optic disc...
Glaucoma examinations included the following: the measurement of best-corrected visual acuity; the measurement of intraocular pressure via noncontact tonometry; the measurement of the central corneal thickness; axial length measurement; slit-lamp microscopy; color disc and red-free retinal nerve fiber laye...

Glaucoma has been associated with decreased ECD and polymegathism [5,6,7,8]. The reason for this is not completely understood, but elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) has been associated with these CEC changes [9]. It has been proposed that damage to CECs results from mechanical forces rela...
