PRIMARY OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA [PDF]

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 2009
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), by far the most common form of glaucoma, currently afflicts more than 2 million Americans, more than half of whom probably don't know they have it. Asymptomatic in the early stages, it gradually and progressively reduces the visual field and leads to blindness if untreated.

Natural History of Open-Angle Glaucoma [PDF]

Ophthalmology, 2009
This article, based on the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT), provides prospective natural history data on progression of glaucomatous field defects in 3 of the most common glaucoma types.Cohort of EMGT patients randomized to the untreated control group and followed up to the time of progression, when treatment could be initiated.We evaluated 118 ...

Mutations in the Myocilin Gene in Families With Primary Open-angle Glaucoma and Juvenile Open-angle Glaucoma [PDF]

Archives of Ophthalmology, 2003
To investigate the prevalence of myocilin (MYOC) mutations in Italian families with glaucoma and to determine the relationship of these mutations to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG), and pigmentary dispersion glaucoma.Twenty-six patients with POAG were selected based on a positive family history of glaucoma.

The genetics of primary open angle glaucoma [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997
The advent of the discipline of molecular genetics over the past decade has led to a dramatic growth in our understanding of the genetics of a myriad of diseases. Ophthalmology has benefited greatly from this new technology, with significant advances in our knowledge about conditions as varied as aniridia and retinitis pigmentosa.1 2 Our understanding ...

Endocrine Dysfunction in Open Angle Glaucoma

Klinische Monatsblätter für Augenheilkunde, 2021
AbstractThe eye, like all organs, is exposed to the effects of the bodyʼs endocrine system. In addition, however, local branches of the endocrine system control important organ-specific functions, such as the production and drainage of aqueous humour.

Micropulse Trabeculoplasty in Open Angle Glaucoma

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2018
Background: We report the effect of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) in the intraocular pressure (IOP) of patients with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective review, 30 eyes with OAG were treated with a single session of MLT at ...

Primary open-angle glaucoma genes [PDF]

Eye, 2011
A substantial fraction of glaucoma has a genetic basis. About 5% of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is currently attributed to single-gene or Mendelian forms of glaucoma (ie glaucoma caused by mutations in myocilin or optineurin). Mutations in these genes have a high likelihood of leading to glaucoma and are rarely seen in normal subjects.
