The Definition of Normal-Tension Glaucoma

Journal of Glaucoma, 1998
To evaluate the consistency of the definition of normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).All articles about NTG published between 1973 and 1997 from three clinical journals of ophthalmology were identified by a literature search. They were reviewed to determine criteria used to define NTG, including optic nerve assessment and intraocular pressure (IOP ...

Normal-Tension Glaucoma

2015
Normal tension glaucoma (NTG), as described by von Graefe in 1857, is a clinical condition in which the optic nerve is pathologically excavated and the visual field (VF) is characteristically disturbed, although the intraocular pressure (IOP) is within the statistically normal range. It may be defined using the criteria from the Collaborative NTG Study

Erythrocyte deformability in high-tension and normal tension glaucoma

International Ophthalmology, 1998
The exact cause of primary open angle glaucoma is still unknown. Intraocular pressure is a major factor but it is impossible to explain the whole mechanism of glaucomatous optic nerve damage with only increased intraocular pressure. Other factors play important roles in the development of glaucoma.

Glaucomas: Managing Normal-Tension Glaucoma

2009
Information available in the literature on how to determine the target pressure for a normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patient is scarce. In the Collaborative Normal-Tension Glaucoma Study (CNTGS) [1, 2], there is no clearly defined single intraocular pressure (IOP) level below which an individual eye is completely safe from developing further ...

The treatment of normal-tension glaucoma

2008
Normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) is generally defined as visual field loss and optic nerve defects consistent with glaucoma and an intraocular pressure (IOP) that does not exceed 21 mmHg (Allingham, R.R., Damji, K., Freedman, S., Moroi, S., Shafranov, G., Shields, M.B. (2005). In: Pine J. and Murphy J.

Headache in Normal-Tension Glaucoma Patients

Journal of Glaucoma, 1994
Headache with or without features of migraine has been reported to be a risk factor for normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). However, it is not known whether the linkage between headache and the glaucomatous disease is independent of intraocular pressure (IOP).

Association of the CAV1‐CAV2 locus with normal‐tension glaucoma in Chinese and Japanese

Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2020
The CAV1‐CAV2 locus has been associated with primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG) and intraocular pressure. However, its association with normal‐tension glaucoma (NTG) was inconclusive. Therefore, we evaluated this association in Chinese and Japanese.

The Hemorheological Mechanisms in Normal Tension Glaucoma

Current Eye Research, 2011
To investigate the differences in hemorheological parameters between patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and normal controls.Twenty patients with NTG and 21 age-matched normal controls were included in the study. Hemorheological parameters of the venous blood samples, including blood viscosity at the shear rates of 500, 250, and 5 s(-1), and ...

Natural history of normal-tension glaucoma

Ophthalmology, 2001
A recently reported randomized study described the role of intraocular pressure (IOP) in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) pathogenesis and the effect of therapeutic lowering of IOP. This is a report of an analysis of the natural course of NTG during the time eyes were not receiving therapy, either in the time interval awaiting randomization or after being

Comparison of Neurovascular Coupling between Normal Tension Glaucoma Patients and Healthy Individuals with Laser Speckle Flowgraphy

Current Eye Research, 2020
Background: The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the differences in neurovascular coupling between Caucasian patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and healthy subjects (HS) with laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG). Methods: Measurement of
