Reduction of intraocular pressure and glaucoma progression: results from the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial.
OBJECTIVE To provide the results of the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial, which compared the effect of immediately lowering the intraocular pressure (IOP), vs no treatment or later treatment, on the progression of newly detected open-angle glaucoma. DESIGN Randomized clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred fifty-five patients aged 50 to 80 years (median, 68 years) with early glaucoma, visual ...
متن کاملFluctuation of intraocular pressure and glaucoma progression in the early manifest glaucoma trial.
PURPOSE To investigate whether increased fluctuation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is an independent factor for glaucoma progression. DESIGN A cohort of patients was followed up in a randomized clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred fifty-five glaucoma patients from the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT; 129 treated and 126 control patients). METHODS Study visits, conducted every 3 mo...
متن کاملIntraocular Pressure Measurements by Three Different Tonometers in Children with Aphakic Glaucoma and a Thick Cornea
Background: To evaluate the agreement in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and Tono-Pen XL (TXL) with the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) and to examine corneal biomechanical properties in aphakic glaucoma patients with a central corneal thickness (CCT) >600 µ. Methods: Thirty-six eyes of aphakic glaucoma patients (group 1) and 40 eyes of normal chil...
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 کاملRelationship between progression of visual field defect and intraocular pressure in primary open-angle glaucoma
PURPOSE To analyze the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and the progression of visual field defects in Japanese primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The subjects of the study were patients undergoing treatment for POAG or NTG who had performed visual field tests at least ten times with a Humphrey field analyzer (Swe...
