Pharmaceutical Approaches to Normal Tension Glaucoma [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2023 Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is defined as a subtype of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in which the intraocular pressure (IOP) values are constantly within the statistically normal range without treatment and represents approximately the 30–40% of ...

Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 22 loci for normal tension glaucoma with significant overlap with high tension glaucoma [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPrimary open-angle glaucoma typically presents as two subtypes. This study aimed to elucidate the shared and distinct genetic architectures of normal-tension (NTG) and high-tension glaucoma (HTG), motivated by the need to develop intraocular pressure ...
