Vascular risk factors for open angle glaucoma in African eyes

[Vascular risk factors in primary open angle glaucoma].

PURPOSE To determine whether cardiovascular risk factors distribution differ between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and control subjects. To assess the strength of this association in POAG. To analyze the most frequent pathology in this group of patients for a better selection of medical treatment. METHODS Observational cross-sectional study in patients with a diagnosis of POAG. Fifty gla...

purpose: the objective of this study was to identify possible risk factors associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (poag). methods: a case-control study included patients seen at rasoul-akram hospital ophthalmology clinic. cases were consecutive patients with confirmed unilateral or bilateral poag presented during the study period. controls were a random sample of all other patients aged 30...

Additional risk factors for open angle glaucoma.

Factors affecting ocular pulse amplitude in eyes with open angle glaucoma and glaucoma-suspect eyes.

PURPOSE To investigate the associations between ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) as measured by dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and ocular and systemic factors in patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) and in glaucoma suspects. METHODS One hundred and seventy-three glaucoma-suspect patients were consecutively enrolled. All subjects underwent intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement by DCT and Gold...
