Breaking The Rules: A Rebuttal Of Normal-Tension Glaucoma, David Brey Apr 1999

Breaking The Rules: A Rebuttal Of Normal-Tension Glaucoma, David Brey

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

Glaucoma is a disease of the eyes generally characterized by high intraocular pressure, optic nerve death, and visual loss. Open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma are the two main forms of the disease However, there is one form of open angle glaucoma that cannot be described by the above abnormalities. This form is known as normal-tension glaucoma, and while it is characterized by optic nerve death and visual loss, it does not display an abnormally high intraocular pressure. Indeed, as this thesis argues, normal-tension glaucoma should not be labeled as a glaucoma disease at all.
