The study provides an up-to-date overview of pathogenesis, functional and structural changes in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) its differences from high glaucomas (HTG). authors point to less known facts which make both diagnostic groups different. First all, there are electrophysiological findings that verify pathology the complete visual pathway HTG contrast NTG where retinal ganglion cell response is relatively but abnormalities pathway. This corresponds magnetic resonance imaging brain...

Hypertensive glaucoma (HTG) causes damage to the retinal ganglion cells and eventually entire visual pathway due high intraocular pressure (IOP). However, increased IOP will also affect vessel density (VD) of posterior pole eye related nerve fibres (RNFL). In normotensive (NTG), are relatively intact. The pathology is at level fibres. unanswered question what has altered cell retina optic head in NTG?The aim this study was determine whether there a correlation between fibre layer (RNFL) same...
