Chronic open angle glaucoma: Risk factors in addition to intraocular pressure

Incident open-angle glaucoma and intraocular pressure.

PURPOSE To evaluate the role of baseline intraocular pressure (b-IOP) as a risk factor for incident open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in participants of African origin from the Barbados Eye Studies. DESIGN Population-based 9-year cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Three thousand two hundred twenty-two persons examined during the study period who were free of glaucoma at baseline and at risk of developing O...

Postural response of intraocular pressure in chronic open-angle glaucoma following trabeculectomy.

Forty-six eyes with chronic open-angle glaucoma (COAG) and 24 eyes which had previously undergone trabeculectomy for COAG were studied and the postural response of the intraocular pressure compared with that of 70 normal eyes. In all three groups the greatest rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) occurred when the subject changed from the sitting to the lying position. In the control group this wa...
