Update on Normal Tension Glaucoma
Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is labelled when typical glaucomatous disc changes, visual field defects and open anterior chamber angles are associated with intraocular pressure (IOP) constantly below 21 mmHg. Chronic low vascular perfusion, Raynaud's phenomenon, migraine, nocturnal systemic hypotension and over-treated systemic hypertension are the main causes of normal tension glaucoma. Goldma...
متن کاملSurgery for normal tension glaucoma.
The long term follow up of surgery in normal tension glaucoma is presented. One eye of 18 patients with bilateral progressive disease underwent fistulising surgery. Over follow up periods ranging from 2 to 7 years (50% > or = 5 years) the operated eye showed on average a 30% reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP). This was associated with a marked difference in the rate and number of retinal l...
متن کاملComparison of OCT and HRT Findings Among Normal, Normal Tension Glaucoma, and High Tension Glaucoma
PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements obtained with the optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the Heidelberg retina topography (HRT) in normal, normal tension glaucoma (NTG), and high tension glaucoma (HTG). METHODS Normal, NTG and HTG subjects who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were evaluated retrospectively. One hund...
متن کاملLow Tension in Acute Glaucoma.
IT is universally accepted that the cardinal sign of primary closed-angle glaucoma is a raised intra-ocular pressure. It might even be considered that it would be a contradiction in terms to make a diagnosis of acute primary closed-angle glaucoma in a soft eye. It is, however, the purpose of this article to show that, in some rare cases, such a diagnosis can be made in spite of this finding; fo...
متن کاملCognitive functions and normal tension glaucoma
PURPOSE Only a few studies have analyzed the potential link between glaucoma and cognitive function impairment. They have found controversial results. This study aims to perform quick cognitive function assessment with clock drawing test (CDT) using two different scoring systems and compare between normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and cataract patients. METHODS Totally, 30 NTG and 30 patients wi...
