| Summary: |
Both hypertension and
glaucoma are known as the “civilization” diseases.
Hypertension and complications due to it in cardiac,
renal and nervous system are one of the commonest
hospitalization causes. Hypertension is also the
commonest glaucoma risk factor occurring, especially in
normal tension glaucoma. Intraocular pressure (IOP) has
been found to be associated with systemic blood pressure
levels in population based studies. It has been
postulated that treatment of hypertension and low
diastolic blood pressure may cause a relatively
increased risk of glaucoma damage progression. Sudden
blood pressure lowering is also associated with visual
field loss in some people. Changes in blood pressure
levels influence progression of the structural defects
in optic disc imaging (HRT). Blood pressure both high
and too low, especially diastolic, is known independent
risk factor for morphological and functional deficits in
the optic nerve. |
