Overdiagnosis of open-angle glaucoma in the general population: the Thessaloniki Eye Study.

The overdiagnosis of OAG was substantial in this elderly, Caucasian population. The overdiagnosis of glaucoma has not been previously addressed in population-based studies and needs to be further explored.

Factors Associated With Retinal Vessel Diameters in an Elderly Population: the Thessaloniki Eye Study.

Our study confirms previous reports about the association of age and BP with vessel diameters.

Tolerable rates of visual field progression in a population-based sample of patients with glaucoma.

The majority of patients with glaucoma in our study would have a maximum tolerable rate of progression slower than -1dB/year in their better eye.

Twelve-Year Incidence of Open-angle Glaucoma: The Thessaloniki Eye Study.

The incidence of OAG was similar or higher compared with other White populations. The incidence of glaucoma in those with PEX was higher compared with the incidence of glaucoma in those without PEX.

Association Between Dietary Salt Intake and Open Angle Glaucoma in the Thessaloniki Eye Study.

In TES participants assessed for OAG in the prevalence and incidence phases, frequent salt intake may be associated with increased OAG in those who take antihypertensive medication.

Structure-Function Correlation Using Confocal Laser Ophthalmoscope in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma.

At a similar level of functional damage, POAG subjects presented with more pronounced structural damage than PEXG subjects. The correlation between HRT and visual field parameters was more evident in POAG, compared with PEXG.
