The Role of CSFP in Glaucoma: A View in Retrospect
TL;DR: Intraocular pressure has been known as a major contributor to glaucomatous pathogenesis for over a century and more recent studies have reignited an interest in cerebrospinal fluid pressure as an important contributor.

Ocular Manifestations of Metabolic Syndrome
TL;DR: Its association with various ocular manifestations such as non-diabetic retinopathy, CRAO, cataract, and primary open angle glaucoma suggests that an epidemic of Met syndrome can have far-fetched ocular consequences as well.

Relationship of Intraocular Pressure with Central Aortic Systolic Pressure.
TL;DR: Increased CASP, as measured by arterial tonometry, is associated with higher IOP, and the results strengthen the relationship between systemic blood pressure and IOP.

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.
