Heredity in primary open-angle glaucoma
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2000The past years have seen considerable progress in the characterization of hereditary factors in primary open-angle glaucoma. Epidemiologic studies strengthened our knowledge of the hereditary factors in this multifactorial disease. Several loci in the human genome have been described, which segregate with different glaucoma phenotypes. Mutations of the

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 ...

Goniodysgenesis in familial primary open‐angle glaucoma
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1994Abstract. Results of a pilot study to evaluate goniodysge‐nesis as a cause of familial open‐angle glaucoma are reported. Patients with a familial high tension open‐angle glaucoma and a goniodysgenetic chamber angle (n = 11), a number of their relatives with glaucoma (n = 12), and their relatives without glaucoma (n = 26) were compared to a group of ...

The management of primary open angle glaucoma
Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 1997Glaucoma is one of the commonest causes of blindness in the world.1 In the UK, about 7% of people over the age of 75 years have primary open angle glaucoma, the most common type of glaucoma2 and the cause of visual impairment in about 13% of those registered blind.3,4 Early detection and treatment can usually prevent blindness.5 However, half of all ...

Primary open-angle glaucoma is a hereditary disease which alters the evacuation of aqueous humor, in the trabecular area. This alteration causes an increase in the intraocular pressure at pathological rates, which after some time causes anatomical damage to the optic nerve and functional damage to the visual field: characteristic of 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
