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.

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

The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study

Journal of Glaucoma, 1994
Methods: One thousand six hundred thirty-six individuals with intraocular pressure (IOP) from 24 to 32 mm Hg in 1 eye and 21 to 32 mm Hg in the fellow eye were randomized to observation or to topical ocular hypotensive medication. Median time of treatment in the medication group was 13.0 years.

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

Papillary drusen and ocular hypertension

2001
To evaluate if the changes in the peripapillary and papillary retinal nerve fiber layer, in a young girl who presents papillary drusen and ocular hypertension in both eyes.We studied this case with retinography, Humphrey Visual Field, HRT, GDx, and diary curve tonometry.After three years of follow up, no changes were observed in the drusen at the ...

Ocular manifestations of systemic hypertension

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1998
Recent population-based studies suggest that the fundus lesions of hypertension also occur in people without hypertension. In experimental studies, hypertensive lesions, which used to be the backbone of older classifications of the severity of hypertension, did not correlate sufficiently with severity to allow reliable grading. Hypertensive retinopathy,

The “no treatment” approach to ocular hypertension

Survey of Ophthalmology, 1980
Should patients with ocular hypertension be treated to prevent glaucomatous visual field loss? Three considerations suggest that for most patients the answer is no. First, the average risk of visual field loss in untreated ocular hypertension is small. Population surveys and prospective studies indicate that no more than about one of every nine persons
