Therapy for Open-Angle Glaucoma
The Consultant Pharmacist, 2018Review the clinical manifestations and treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).Articles indexed in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library in the last 10 years using the key words "glaucoma," "open-angle glaucoma," and "'open-angle glaucoma' AND 'treatment.'" Primary sources were used to locate additional resources. ClinicalTrials. gov was used to

Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy that is characterized by the progressive degeneration of the optic nerve, leading to visual impairment. Glaucoma is the main cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, but typically remains asymptomatic until very severe.

Therapy of Open Angle Glaucoma
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1966A variety of substances are now used in treating open angle glaucoma; their comparative effectiveness needs further study. Pilocaprine has long been the standard beginning therapy for the early form of this disease. However, it has a maximum duration of action of only four to six hours, and its use results in poor control of ocular tensions part of the

Primary open-angle glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and, perhaps, the most common form of glaucoma. Because the disease is treatable, and because the visual impairment caused by glaucoma is irreversible, early detection is essential. Early diagnosis depends on examination of the optic disc, retinal nerve fibre layer, and visual field.

Our understanding of glaucoma has undergone dramatic changes in the past decade. The ferment has derived from new epidemiologic information, improved diagnostic methods, and developments in surgical and drug therapy. This review concentrates on primary open-angle glaucoma, the most prevalent form of the disorder in Western countries. Definition Primary

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1968
The most important aspect of glaucoma to the patient and to his ophthalmologist, is damage to visual function as manifested by visual field changes and progression. The level of intraocular pressure was related to these phenomena a century ago but the exact relationship of the intraocular pressure load to the appearance of visual field defects and ...

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1987
As one entering his second decade in the care of glaucoma patients, and as one involved in glaucoma research, it seems a reasonable time to ask how effective our therapeutic approaches are. Glaucoma is somewhat unique in ophthalmic diseases with its chronic, relentless course and its customary need for truly unending medical therapies that, in fact, do

GLAUCOMA CAPSULARE IN PATIENTS WITH OPEN‐ANGLE GLAUCOMA IN HUNGARY
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1988Abstract. The data of 403 inpatients with open‐angle glaucoma were selected between 1977–1986, 155 had glaucoma capsulare (GC) and 248 suffered from primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG). The incidence rate of GC was 38.4 % in the total material. In the GC group, the peak of age distribution was between the ages 70–79 (45.8 %).The male/female ratio of ...

Mortality in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Exfoliative Glaucoma
European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2014Purpose To study mortality among unselected Finnish patients with either primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or exfoliative glaucoma (EG) after a minimum follow-up of 7 years after enrollment. Methods A total of 344 patients with POAG and 155 patients with EG had received free medication for the treatment of glaucoma from the Finnish National Social ...

Normal pressure glaucoma. Open angle glaucoma
International Ophthalmology, 2001One hundred and fifty years ago Argyl-Robertson [1] postulated the elevation of the eye pressure as the main cause of optic nerve damage in glaucoma patients. Since then the therapeutical approach has been directed towards lowering the intra-ocular pressure, (IOP).
