- At 5 years: observation group = 9.5%, treatment group = 4.4% developed glaucoma
- At 7 years, observation group = 13%, treatment group = 4.4% developed glaucoma
Risk factors for developing POAG identified:
- advanced age
- race (the prevalence of glaucoma is higher in blacks than in whites)
- sex (male)
- larger vertical cup-to-disc ratios
- greater pattern standard deviation on Humphrey visual fields
- thinner central cornea measurements.
- IOP fluctuation and Diurnal curves -- peak IOP at night
- systemic disease
- optic nerve hemorrhages
- PPA
- zone alpha -- further from the disc; chorioretinal/pigment crescent
- zone beta -- adjacent to disc; scleral crescent (more associated with glaucoma)
- sleep apnea
- high myopia (structural changes make it hard to evaluate nerve shape)
