Glaucoma is a term describing a group of ocular disorders with multi‐factorial etiology united
by a clinically characteristic intraocular pressure‐associated optic neuropathy. It is not a …

Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is an exception in the “glaucoma family” where the major
risk factor, increased intraocular pressure, is missing. If not increased intraocular pressure …

The vasculature of the eye and the heart share several common characteristics. The easily
accessible vessels of the eye are therefore—to some extent—a window to the heart. There is …

Vascular dysregulation refers to the regulation of blood flow that is not adapted to the needs
of the respective tissue. We distinguish primary vascular dysregulation (PVD, formerly called …

Purpose: To evaluate macular and peripapillary vessel perfusion density (VD) in glaucoma
suspects (GS) and glaucoma patients; to correlate ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer …

Elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for neurodegeneration in
glaucoma. Glial cells, which play an important role in normal functioning of retinal neurons …

Current evidence supports the role of vascular factors as part of the multifactorial cause of
OAG. As ocular perfusion pressure reflects the vascular status at the optic disc, it may be …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common, incurable, and progressive dementia, characterized
by loss of learning and memory and the neuropathologic accumulation of amyloid plaques …

The predominant risk factor for the progression of glaucoma is an increase in IOP, mediated
via a reduction in aqueous outflow through the conventional (trabecular meshwork and …

Glaucoma, one of the major causes of blindness in the world, is a progressive optic
neuropathy. Elevated intraocular pressure is a well‐known major risk factor for glaucoma. In …
