Ocular Hypertension: To Treat or Not to Treat?

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1977
Chandler and Grant urge us to discard the diagnosis ocular hypertension and use in its stead early open-angle glaucoma for patients with high intraocular pressures, open angles, normal optic discs, and normal visual fields. They also advocate early treatment of these patients to prevent glaucomatous loss of vision. Should we label these patients early

A longitudinal study of ocular hypertension

Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1969
A group with ocular hypertension has been investigated longitudinally — compared with a normal group — for a period of 5 years. As result we can state, that there is no exact numeric border between the normal and the pathologic pressure of the eye. Single measurements of the intraocular pressure are not sufficient for a reliable and early diagnosis of ...

Ocular manifestations of pulmonary hypertension

Survey of Ophthalmology, 2019
Pulmonary hypertension, if left untreated, may result in increasing cardiac back pressures and lead to right heart failure and death. An increase in venous pressure in cases of pulmonary hypertension influences other organs. Ocular complications occur as a result of elevated venous pressure in the superior vena cava and in the ophthalmic veins, which ...

When to treat ocular hypertension

Survey of Ophthalmology, 1983
Ocular hypertension (intraocular pressure greater than or equal to 21 mm Hg, normal visual fields, normal optic discs, open angles, and the absence of any contributing ocular disease) occurs in 4-10% of the population over age 40. The question of whether to treat ocular hypertensive patients remains controversial.

Risk Factors in Ocular Hypertension

European Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997
The aim of the study was to determine whether certain factors are related to an increased risk of developing open-angle glaucoma. A total of 345 untreated glaucoma suspects with intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥ 21 mmHg, cup to disc ratio 0.4 or less and no visual field defects, were followed up for 6 to 8 years (mean 7.3). During the follow-up 71 patients

Further Comments on 'Ocular Hypertension'

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1977
To the Editor.–In the April issue of theArchives(95:585-589, 1977), four editorials appeared concerning ocular hypertension. The first was written by us, and the following three were written by Kolker and Becker, Shaffer, and Phelps. These latter editorialists had the opportunity to study our editorial before publication and formulate a rebuttal of ...

Ocular Hypertension and the Risk of Blindness

Journal of Glaucoma, 2015
To estimate the risk of blindness in patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) using an appropriate model and current empirical data.A Markov model with data from a systematic literature review.A Markov model with 3 health states was built: OHT, primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and unilateral blindness.

Prognostic Indicators in Ocular Hypertension

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1974
Data from the initial examination of 12 patients who developed glaucomatous field loss while under observation were examined to determine which parameters showed an increased prevalence in the population. These parameters were then tested in a prospective manner to learn their predictive value in 50 patients with ocular hypertension (intraocular ...

'Glaucoma Suspect' or 'Ocular Hypertension'?

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1977
More than 15 years ago, various studies made it clear that many eyes tolerated pressures far above the statistical normal for long periods of time. Until these studies were done, it would have been considered close to malpractice if hypertensive eyes were not treated.

Epidemiological aspects of ocular hypertension

Survey of Ophthalmology, 1980
A number of epidemiologic factors have come to be associated with an elevated intraocular pressure. These factors include age, sex, blood pressure, juvenile diabetes mellitus, blood sugar, menstrual cycle, menopause, inheritance, obesity, pulse rate, stature, myopia, aqueous production, time of day and season of the year. These factors are discussed in
