Achievement of target intraocular pressure is the goal of every efficient antiglaucoma therapy. Target intraocular pressure is the level of intraocular pressure which is associated with minimal likelihood of visual field or optic nerve lesion, or an existing lesion progression due to elevated intraocular pressure. Results of large clinical studies which have offered some new concepts on target ...
