Factors Associated with Progression of Japanese Open-Angle Glaucoma with Lower Normal Intraocular Pressure.

In Japanese patients with NTG with mean baseline IOP of 12.3 mmHg without treatment, estimated mean MD slope for 5 years was -0.33 dB/year; probability of glaucoma progression based on VF or disc/peripapillary end points at 5 years was 66%.

Differences in Factors Associated With Glaucoma Progression With Lower Normal Intraocular Pressure in Superior and Inferior Halves of the Optic Nerve Head.

In NTG eyes, greater BMI, myopia, and v-C/D are characteristic risk factors for faster progression in the superior half of the optic nerve head (ONH), whereas long-term IOP fluctuation is the significant risk factor in…
