New treatments for ocular hypertension
Autonomic Neuroscience, 2009Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative pathology that affects the optic nerve producing blindness. This disease is often a consequence of an abnormal increase of intraocular pressure (IOP) due to a reduction in the ability of the eye to drain a transparent fluid termed aqueous humour.

The natural course of ocular pressure in ocular hypertension
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1980The intraocular pressures of ocular hypertensives may undergo diurnal variation and/or slow cyclic variations over years. Studies of both types of variations are reviewed. Pressure tends to decrease cyclically in some ocular hypertensives and to increase in others.

Timolol in the therapy of “ocular hypertension”
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1980Timolol has been shown to be at least as effective as pilocarpine and epinephrine in the therapy of open angle glaucoma. To date there appear to have been few serious side effects from timolol when it has been used in patients without cardiac or pulmonary disease.

Thyroid and ocular hypertension
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2011AbstractPurpose To present and discuss the association between thyroid disorders and the development of glaucoma. Several population‐based cross‐sectional sample studies support the hypothesis that thyroid disorders may increase the risk of glaucoma. However, because the self‐report studies, data on specific type of glaucoma and /or thyroid disorders ...

The Ocular Fundus and Hypertension [PDF]
, 1982 The ocular fundus is a prime site for evaluation of the microvasculature in systemic vascular disease. The retinal blood vessels or, more precisely, their contained columns of blood can be visualized without the interposition of extraneous tissue. Extravasation of blood and serum into the retina indicates their functional incompetence and methods for ...

Management of ocular hypertension
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1980DR. WORTHEN: First I’d like to make some qualifying statements. I don’t use the term ocular hypertension because I don’t talk about statistics with patients. I consider them glaucoma suspects if any one of a number of the risk factors discussed by Dr. Kass are present.

AN OCULAR HYPERTENSION INDICATOR (TONOMETER)
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1950The ocular hypertension indicator (tonometer) is a screening instrument and not a diagnostic instrument. We believe that this instrument, placed in the hands of general practitioners according to some acceptable plan, may prevent blindness through the earlier discovery of hypertension and earlier reference of the patient to an ophthalmologist.

When to treat ocular hypertension
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1983Ocular 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.

Ocular manifestations of pulmonary hypertension
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2019Pulmonary 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 ...

A longitudinal study of ocular hypertension
Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1969A 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 ...
