Hemodynamic variables in progressive and non‐progressive low tension glaucoma

Abstract

Systemic blood pressure and medications for different general diseases were retrospectively examined in 30 low-tension glaucoma patients. Thirty patients with POAG were used as controls. LTG was divided into a progressive and non-progressive form on basis of the course of the disease. Systemic blood pressure was higher in POAG and the progressive form of LTG than in the non-progressive LTG. There was twice as much antihypertensive medication in LTG than POAG patients.
