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

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 ...

The changes in the chamber angle in primary open-angle glaucoma and secondary open-angle glaucoma are discussed. Primary open-angle glaucoma is a diagnosis of exclusion, so a knowledge of the causes of secondary glaucomas is important.

Prevalence of Myopia in Open Angle Glaucoma
European Journal of Ophthalmology, 1992In this study concerning the prevalence of myopia in patients with open angle glaucoma, its distribution was analyzed within the sample tested in relation to the refraction defect size, compared with a control group of non-glaucomatous myopic subjects.

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).

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 ...
