Ocular hypeension carries a high risk of progression to open angle glucoma . All of the statements given below are associated with the progression except :
Various risk factors for progression of Occular Hypeension to POAG include- African , Caucasians race Thin Cornea predisposes to POAG Myopics Elderly Trabecular fibrosis Myocillin gene Optineurin Gene OCULAR HYPEENSION GLAUCOMA Low tension Glaucoma Increased IOP(>22 mmHg) Increased IOP (>22 mmHg) Normal IOP(10-21mmHg) Normal visual field Visual field defects Seen Visual field defects Seen No optic disc change Optic disc change seen Optic disc change seen
Corneal thickness has no co-relation with the progression
Myopics have increased risk for progression
Progression can be delayed by controlling IOP
Progression is seen more commonly in Caucasian population
Glaucoma
