TLDR
Lower IOP with use of fewer glaucoma medications was achieved after trabeculectomy with MMC compared with tube shunt surgery during the first year of follow-up.

Glaucoma in Adults-Screening, Diagnosis, and Management: A Review.

TL;DR: Open-angle and narrow-angle forms of glaucoma are reviewed in this article, including a description of the pathophysiology, risk factors, screening, disease monitoring, and treatment options.

The Diagnosis and Treatment of Glaucoma.

TL;DR: The diagnostic evaluation of glaucoma rests on multiple pillars, all of which must be considered for establishing the diagnosis and defining the desired target pressure: these are, among others, the intraocular pressure and ocular function and morphology.

Outcomes of Micropulse Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation in Eyes With Good Central Vision

TL;DR: Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation should be considered earlier in the management of glaucoma and can possibly be offered as an alternative to incisional glau coma surgeries.

Reduction of intraocular pressure and glaucoma progression: results from the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial.

TL;DR: The first adequately powered randomized trial with an untreated control arm to evaluate the effects of IOP reduction in patients with open-angle glaucoma who have elevated and normal IOP showed considerable beneficial effects of treatment that significantly delayed progression.

The advanced glaucoma intervention study (AGIS): 7. the relationship between control of intraocular pressure and visual field deterioration

TL;DR: In both analyses low intraocular pressure is associated with reduced progression of visual field defect, supporting evidence from earlier studies of a protective role for low intracular pressure in visual field deterioration.

Comparison of glaucomatous progression between untreated patients with normal-tension glaucoma and patients with therapeutically reduced intraocular pressures

TL;DR: Intraocular pressure is part of the pathogenic process in normal-tension glaucoma and therapy that is effective in lowering intraocular pressure and free of adverse effects would be expected to be beneficial in patients who are at risk of disease progression.

Interim clinical outcomes in the collaborative initial glaucoma treatment study comparing initial treatment randomized to medications or surgery

TL;DR: Interim CIGTS outcomes do not support altering current treatment approaches to open-angle glaucoma, and aggressive treatment aimed at substantial reduction in IOP from baseline is used, loss of VF can be seen to be minimal in general.
