TL;DR: This was the first study to examine the prevalence, awareness, and risk factors of POAG in the Korean population using 4-year KNHANES data and revealed that Koreans with higher IOP, myopia, older age, male gender, hypertension, and nonoverweight status require more attention and support from the glaucoma screening and surveillance systems.

Relative change in diurnal mean ocular perfusion pressure: a risk factor for the diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma.
TL;DR: The relative diurnal change in IOP was similar in both u POAG and normal subjects but MOPP showed a significant difference, and a significant association was found between diurnal DBP and IOP in uPOAG.

TL;DR: The data suggest that use of calcium channel antagonists is associated with open-angle glaucoma, but this requires confirmation, and results do not support the use ofcium channel antagonists for the treatment of normal-tension glAUcoma.

TL;DR: Statin use was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of OAG among persons with hyperlipidemia, and an interventional prospective study might provide additional insights into the role of statins in the prevention of early OAG.

TL;DR: This report updates findings of previous reports in several respects: it broadens the step-care approach to provide more flexibility for clinicians; encourages greater patient involvement in the treatment program; emphasizes a consideration of the quality of life in the management of patients; and addresses the cost of care.

TL;DR: The prevalence of open-angle glaucoma in Beaver Dam is similar to that in other white populations, and findings from this study re-emphasize the notion that estimates of glauca prevalence should be based on assessing multiple risk indicators.
