CLASSICAL POAG • RAISED IOP • OPTIC DISC CUPPING • VISUAL FIELD LOSS • VERY COMMON • ASYMPTOMATIC • DAMAGE IRREVERSIBLE
30 20 POAG
OCULAR HYPERTENSIVES • RAISED IOP • NORMAL DISCS • NO FIELD LOSS
NORMAL TENSION GLAUCOMA • NORMAL IOP • FIELD LOSS • OPTIC DISC CUPPING • POST TRABECULECTOMY SOME PATIENTS CONTINUE TO LOSE FIELD
IOP GLAUCOMA AGEING VASCULAR TOXIC FREE RADICALS PATHOGENESIS
GLAUCOMATOUS OPTIC NEUROPATHY • PRESSURE SENSITIVE • PRESSURE INSENTIVE • ONLY TREATMENT OF VALUE IS TO LOWER IOP
POAG • RATE OF FIELD LOSS • IOP > 30mm BLIND IN 3 - 5 YRS • IOP 20 - 30 mm BLIND IN 5 - 15 YRS • IOP < 15 mm BLIND IN 30 YRS • MONITER WITH VISUAL FIELDS
DRUGS • PILOCARPINE • PROPINE • BETA BLOCKERS • ORAL DIAMOX • TRUSOPT • LATANOPROST • ALPHAGAN • COSOPT
SURGERY • TRABECULECTOMY • NON PENETRATING SURGERY • ANTIMETABOLITES • RELEASABLE SUTURES • DIODE LASER
NORMAL TENSION GLAUCOMA • IS IT PROGRESSIVE? • Hx OF MIGRAINE • HX OF VASOSPASM • DRUGS • SURGERY
OCULAR HYPERTENSION • 10% PROGRESS IN 10 YRS • MONITER WITH FIELDS • TREAT IF IOP > 30mm • TREAT IF OTHER RISK FACTORS
