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).

Intraocular Pressure and Cardiovascular Risk Variables
Barbara E.K. Klein,Ronald Klein +1 more
TL;DR: Intraocular pressure was correlated positively with systemic blood pressure in all groups and with hematocrit reading, sedimentation rate, pulse rate, and serum cholesterol level was not consistent in the four race-sex groups.

Risk factors for primary open angle glaucoma.

TL;DR: Diastolic blood pressure and alcohol use appeared to be more strongly associated with glaucoma among whites, but these results should be cautiously interpreted because of the small numbers available for subgroup analysis.

Chronic open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. An epidemiological study.
R. W. Morgan,S. M. Drance +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an epidermiological study of patients with chronic simple glaucoma or ocular hypertension suggests that the diagnosis of glauca is associated with a positive family history, acute blood loss, and diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some factors affecting the distribution of intraocular pressures in a population
TL;DR: Sex, season, time of day and systemic blood pressure have independent effects on the distribution of applanation pressures in a population, but their combined effects are large enough to support the opinion that they should be taken into account when evaluating the results of Applanation tonometry.

Epidemiology of intraocular pressure in a population screened for glaucoma.
TL;DR: Associations between raised intraocular pressure and age, country of birth, myopia, CDR, diabetes, and glaucoma in the family were found.
