TL;DR: The rationale of the study and its design is given, and a summary of the major findings and an update of the objectives and methods are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of long-term progression in the early manifest glaucoma trial.
TL;DR: Treatment and follow-up IOP continued to have a marked influence on progression, regardless of baseline IOP, and lower systolic perfusion pressure, lower syStolic BP, and cardiovascular disease history emerged as new predictors, suggesting a vascular role in glaucoma progression.

Vascular risk factors for primary open angle glaucoma: The Egna-Neumarkt Study
TL;DR: The data are in line with those reported in other recent epidemiologic studies and show that reduced diastolic perfusion pressure is an important risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma.

The eye in hypertension.

TL;DR: Recognition of the ocular effects of blood pressure could allow physicians to better manage patients with hypertension, and to monitor its end-organ effects.

The prevalence of glaucoma in a population-based study of Hispanic subjects: Proyecto VER.
TL;DR: Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) was defined using a proposed international system for prevalence surveys, including threshold visual field defect and optic disc damage as mentioned in this paper, and bilateral appositional angle closure was combined with optic nerve damage (judged by field and disc as for OAG).

Studies of factors involved in the production of low tension glaucoma.
TL;DR: The low tension glaucoma group had a significantly higher rate of hemodynamic crises, low systemic blood pressure, and low ophthalmic blood pressure than the ocular hypertensive group.

Evaluation of Nerve Fiber Layer Assessment
TL;DR: The prevalence of nerve fiber defects in eyes with elevated pressure and normal visual fields was similar to that in control eyes, approximately 10%.

Intraocular pressure and systemic blood pressure in the elderly.
C J Bulpitt,C Hodes,M G Everitt +2 more
TL;DR: Systolic pressure rather than diastolic or mean pressure was most closely correlated with intraocular pressure and it is suggested that the systolic head of pressure increases the filtrated fraction of aqueous humour to cause a small but sustained rise in intraocular Pressure.

Reliability of intraocular pressure measurement with the Goldmann applanation tonometer in epidemiological studies
TL;DR: The reproducibility of intraocular pressure measurement with the Goldmann applanation tonometer was investigated as part of a population-based epidemiological study and the median value of three consecutive measurements reduced the inter-observer variation and the intra-ob server variation by 9% compared with a single measurement.
Journal Article
A longitudinal study of the relationship between intraocular and blood pressures.
TL;DR: Investigation of the relationship between intraocular and systemic blood pressures in middle-aged men indicates that changes in intraocular pressure over time are associated with changes in systolic blood pressure and that intraocular Pressure does not necessarily increase with age.
