Patients With Normal Tension Glaucoma Have Relative Sparing of the Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect Compared to Those With Open Angle Glaucoma and Elevated Intraocular Pressure.
Purpose We determined whether there is relative sparing of pupil function in glaucoma patients with normal pressures compared to those with high pressures. Methods A cross-sectional study was done of 68 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG): 38 had normal IOPs on all-day phasing before treatment (never >21 mm Hg), with confirmed progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (NTG) an...
متن کاملRetinal nerve fiber layer loss in glaucoma patients with a relative afferent pupillary defect.
PURPOSE To assess the amount of structural loss (retinal nerve fiber layer [RNFL] thickness loss, macular thickness [MT] and volume [MV] measured by optical coherence tomography [OCT]) and functional loss (visual acuity [VA], visual field mean deviation [MD], brightness sensitivity, and red perception) necessary for a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) to manifest in patients with glauco...
متن کاملOcular dimensions in low tension glaucoma compared with open-angle glaucoma and the normal.
Pathological excavation of the optic disc in the apparent absence of raised ocular tension was first described by von Graefe (1857), and since then it has aroused interest among ophthalmologists; various names have been given to it and these have reflected ideas about its aetiology. Schnabel (I885) described a cavernous optic atrophy which he believed had resulted from progressive diminution of...
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 کاملPrevalence of normal-tension glaucoma and primary open-angle glaucoma in patients with collagen diseases.
PURPOSE To investigate the prevalence of normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients with collagen diseases and determine whether an immunocompromised condition is present in a subset of glaucoma patients. METHODS Three glaucoma specialists prospectively examined patients with collagen diseases. The diagnostic process included applanation tonometry, slit-l...
