American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1968
The most important aspect of glaucoma to the patient and to his ophthalmologist, is damage to visual function as manifested by visual field changes and progression. The level of intraocular pressure was related to these phenomena a century ago but the exact relationship of the intraocular pressure load to the appearance of visual field defects and ...

GLAUCOMA CAPSULARE IN PATIENTS WITH OPEN‐ANGLE GLAUCOMA IN HUNGARY [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1988 Abstract. The data of 403 inpatients with open‐angle glaucoma were selected between 1977–1986, 155 had glaucoma capsulare (GC) and 248 suffered from primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG). The incidence rate of GC was 38.4 % in the total material. In the GC group, the peak of age distribution was between the ages 70–79 (45.8 %).The male/female ratio of ...

As one entering his second decade in the care of glaucoma patients, and as one involved in glaucoma research, it seems a reasonable time to ask how effective our therapeutic approaches are. Glaucoma is somewhat unique in ophthalmic diseases with its chronic, relentless course and its customary need for truly unending medical therapies that, in fact, do

The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics
Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP; normal range 8-22 mm Hg), which is the only disease-related factor that can be modified. Topical drugs that lower IOP are the first line of treatment for open-angle glaucoma.

Normal pressure glaucoma. Open angle glaucoma
International Ophthalmology, 2001One hundred and fifty years ago Argyl-Robertson [1] postulated the elevation of the eye pressure as the main cause of optic nerve damage in glaucoma patients. Since then the therapeutical approach has been directed towards lowering the intra-ocular pressure, (IOP).

Indications of trabeculectomy in open angle glaucoma
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1986Abstract The indications and frequency of trabeculectomy operations in Swedish eye clinics in 1980 and 1981 were assessed. The incidence of operations are significantly higher in the north than in the south of the country. The geographical influence was eliminated by excluding the 6 northernmost clinics, but the frequency of operations still varied ...

HLA in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
International Archives of Allergy and Applied Immunology, 2009Histocompatibility antigen typing was carried out in 50 Caucasian patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and 50 Caucasian ocular-normotensive subjects. HLA-A 3 was present in 46%, B7 in 52%, B 12 in 50%, and either B 7 or B 12 in 88% of patients with POAG.
