... circulation in eyes with CRVO. However, the clinical features of CRVOs with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) are not well known. Therefore, we investigated Japanese CRVO patients with NTG. Methods: We retrospectively investigated 234 CRVO patients over 5 years, with follow-ups of more than 12 months...

... of the optic disk. Normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) is a special form of open-angle glaucoma. Despite advances in techniques for examining the optic nerve and VF, functional and morphological differences between NTG and open-angle high-tension glaucoma (HTG) remain controversial. Several studies have shown...

...Yoshihiko Okumura; Kenya Yuki; Kazuo Tsubota Aims: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between blood pressure (BP) and visual field defect progression in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Methods: The subjects were 35 consecutive patients with NTG who were admitted to Keio...

...S. Orgül; A.Z. Gaspar; Ph. Hendrickson; J. Flammer To determine whether damage in normal-tension glaucoma is more pronounced in men or in women, we analyzed visual-field damage, intraocular pressure, age, frequency of acral vasospastic reaction on local cooling, and frequency of headache in 28...

...Selim Orgül; Claudia Zawinka; Konstantin Gugleta; Josef Flammer Treatment of normal-tension glaucoma has been a subject of debate for several years. Glaucomatous damage cannot be influenced directly, and current treatment modalities in normal-tension glaucoma are aimed at the control of risk...

...Kenji Kashiwagi; Kyoko Kohno; Shigeo Tsukahara Objective: To investigate the effect of hospitalization on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Methods: The study was conducted in 52 patients with a definite diagnosis of NTG. The correlation between IOP measured...

...Daniel S. Mojon; Christian W. Hess; David Goldblum; Matthias Boehnke; Fritz Koerner; Matthias Gugger; Claudio Bassetti; Johannes Mathis Introduction: In normal-tension glaucoma, optic nerve damage occurs without elevated intraocular pressures, hence vascular and pathogenic mechanisms other than...

...Konstantin Gugleta; Selim Orgül; Josef Flammer The etiology of glaucoma is most probably multifactorial. This study intended to investigate the asymmetry in intraocular pressure (IOP) and that in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in normal-tension glaucoma patients. Two diurnal tension...

... with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). IOP represents one of the most important risk factors for glaucoma. However the IOP value is not constant during the day and IOP fluctuation could influence the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of the glaucomatous disease. Methods: For this purpose IOP was evaluated...
