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).

Journal ArticleDOI
Intraocular pressure, cardiovascular risk variables, and visual field defects
TL;DR: Although blood pressure was associated with intraocular pressure in eyes without visual field defects, this association could not be detected in eyes with field defects; interaction tests found significant differences in the blood pressure-intraocular pressure relationships between visual field groups.

Biostatistical evidence for two distinct chronic open angle glaucoma populations.

TL;DR: Multivariate analysis revealed two statistically distinct groups of patients, with low and high tension glaucoma cases equally distributed in both, and a suggestion of vasospastic finger blood flow measurements, suggestive of vascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations into a vascular etiology for low-tension glaucoma.
TL;DR: This study does not support the concept of a generalized vascular etiology, either of an atheromatous or hyperviscous nature, for the genesis of low-tension glaucoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systemic factors in patients with low-tension glaucoma.
TL;DR: Patients with low-tension glaucoma suffered a higher prevalence of multiple abnormalities of these systemic factors than did their ocular hypertensive counterparts.

TL;DR: The object of the present study was to investigate the hypothesis that a low systemic blood pressure might be associated with so-called low tension glaucoma: the rather unexpected result was an association between open-angle glau coma and vascular hypertension.
