Open-angleorwide-angle glaucomaoccurs seven times more frequently than closed-angle glaucoma. People at greatest risk are those older than 65 years, those with diabetes ormyopia, and relatives of glaucoma patients. Because symptoms are usually absent at the onset, this variety of glaucoma might be...
Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness and is characterized by chronic progressive glaucomatous optic neuropathy with corresponding visual field defects1,2. Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the main target of glaucomatous damage, are central nervous system neurons located ...
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), is a heritable common cause of blindness world-wide. To identify risk loci, we conduct a large multi-ethnic meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies on a total of 34,179 cases and 349,321 controls, identifying 44 previously unreported risk loci and...

To compare reoperation rates between Ex-PRESS implantation and trabeculectomy. We performed a retrospective cohort study using a national inpatient database in Japan. Patients aged 18–85 years with primary open-angle glaucoma or normal-tension glaucoma
The low prevalence of the elderly population may come from not being diagnosed thoroughly [22]. Our results showed that unlike in POAG, aging does not increase the risk of developing NTG. Although open-angle glaucoma mainly occurs after the age of 40, and adolescents have a certain risk [23...
(PM2.5) exposure levels in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), patient data were obtained from Taiwan’s Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000 for the 2008 to 2013 period. We used a multivariate logic regression model to assess the risk for...
