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.

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.

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.

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.

Ocular Hypertension: To Treat or Not to Treat?
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1977Chandler 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

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.

Cerebral hemodynamics in ocular hypertension
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2004To evaluate the cerebral blood flow velocity in patients with ocular hypertension.Twenty-four ocular hypertensive patients and 24 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were recruited in a prospective comparative study. All subjects had normal findings on full-threshold visual field tests and clinically normal optic nerves.

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 ...

Papillary drusen and ocular hypertension
International Ophthalmology, 2001To 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 ...
