Acute angle closure glaucoma with acute IOP rise and sudden visual loss is a typical example. Also noted was primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) associated with chronic IOP elevation and progressive visual loss for long time period up to several decades. Measurement of IOPs for glaucoma patients has been essential both for long term clinical observation and for critical diagnosis. However, a new clinical entity of glaucoma showing identical clinical manifestation as POAG but without any IOP elevation has been reported and widely accepted in recent years. Diagnostic procedures, clinical courses, and treatment of this new clinical entity so called normal tension glaucoma (low tension glaucoma) will be reported in this paper., 論文}, pages = {1--5}, title = {[総説]緑内障をめぐる最近の話題 : 視神経乳頭で診断する緑内障 : 正常眼圧緑内障}, volume = {19}, year = {1999} }
