Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs and Incident Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Population-Based Cohort Study
BACKGROUND Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that may lead to blindness. An elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is its major risk factor. OAG treatment is currently exclusively directed towards the lowering of the IOP. IOP lowering does not prevent disease progression in all patients and thus other treatment modalities are needed. Earlier studies reported chol...
متن کاملAntithrombotic medication and incident open-angle glaucoma.
PURPOSE To determine the associations between the use of antithrombotic drugs and incident open-angle glaucoma (OAG). METHODS Ophthalmic examinations including measurements of the IOP and perimetry were performed at baseline and follow-up in 3939 participants of the prospective population-based Rotterdam Study who did not have OAG at baseline. The use of antithrombotic drugs was monitored con...
متن کاملIncident 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...
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...
متن کاملAuthor response: incident open-angle glaucoma and ocular perfusion pressure.
The purpose of this letter is to provide corrections to a recent paper from the Rotterdam Eye Study, which evaluated the relationship between incident open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP). After adjustment for intraocular pressure (IOP), the researchers failed to find significant associations with OPP, concluding that the positive results of previous reports may be due ...
