American Academy of Ophthalmology definition of glaucoma:
"A multi-factorial optic neuropathy in which there is characteristic acquired loss of retinal ganglion cells and atrophy of the optic nerve." (This definition allows for the presence of glaucoma in the absence of visual field loss, and does not even address IOP. )

NTG = 1 out of 6 POAG patients
