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

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 is an optic neuropathy that is usually associated with an elevated intraocular pressure. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type of glaucoma and is progressive and bilateral but typically asymmetric in patients. Studies have shown that reducing intraocular pressure reduces the risk of vision loss.

Glaucoma is the second most common cause of legal blindness in the United States. Open-angle glaucoma is an asymptomatic, progressive optic neuropathy characterized by enlarging optic disc cupping and visual field loss. Patients at increased risk for open-angle glaucoma include blacks older than 40 years, whites older than 65 years, and persons with a ...

Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP; normal range 8-22 mm Hg), which is the only disease-related factor that can be modified. Topical drugs that lower IOP are the first line of treatment for open-angle glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a significant global health problem. As of the year 2000, 67 million people worldwide were affected with “primary” glaucoma. Of these patients, 6.7 million were bilaterally blind. Glaucoma is second only to cataracts as a cause of blindness worldwide. In the United States, where glaucoma accounts for 11% of all cases of blindness, it is the
