متن کاملIncident open-angle glaucoma and blood pressure.
BACKGROUND The risk of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) may be related to low blood pressure (BP) relative to intraocular pressure (IOP), ie, to low perfusion pressure (PP). Alternatively, systemic hypertension may increase OAG risk. OBJECTIVE To clarify these possible relationships by evaluating hypertension and PP (where PP = BP - IOP) as risk factors for incident OAG in a black population. DESI...
