Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebrospinal fluid pressure is decreased in primary open-angle glaucoma.

TL;DR: Cerebrospinal fluid pressure is significantly lower in POAG patients compared with that in nonglaucomatous controls, and the notion that CSF pressure may play an important contributory role in the pathogenesis of POAG is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracranial pressure in primary open angle glaucoma, normal tension glaucoma, and ocular hypertension: a case-control study.

TL;DR: Intacranial pressure may play an important role in the development of POAG and NTG and in preventing the progression of OHT toPOAG and in protecting against the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Central Corneal Thickness in Normal, Glaucomatous, and Ocular Hypertensive Eyes

TL;DR: The mean CCT is increased in eyes with ocular hypertension when compared with normal or glaucomatous eyes, which confirms the findings of other investigators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analyses identify multiple loci associated with central corneal thickness and keratoconus.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis on >20,000 individuals in European and Asian populations that identified 16 new loci associated with CCT at genome-wide significance showed that 2 CCT-associated loci conferred relatively large risks for keratoconus in 2 cohorts with 874 cases and 6,085 controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common Variants at 9p21 and 8q22 Are Associated with Increased Susceptibility to Optic Nerve Degeneration in Glaucoma

TL;DR: The authors performed a meta-analysis of two independent genome-wide association studies for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) followed by a normal pressure (NPG) defined by intraocular pressure (IOP) less than 22 mmHg subgroup analysis.
