Low tension open angle glaucoma
Dear Notetaker:
Asian-Americans are at higher risk of angle-closure glaucoma, and Japanese-Americans are more prone to low-tension glaucoma. If you have a family history of glaucoma, you have a much greater risk of developing glaucoma. Anticipated functional implications of the condition. Glaucoma can cause blindness if it is left untreated.

Although there are some differences between the rare form of juvenile-onset open angle glaucoma (JOAG) as compared with the more frequent form of adult-onset chronic open angle glaucoma (COAG), the clinical diagnosis of both groups are based on the presentation of visual field loss, glaucomatous changes of the optic nerve and optic nerve damage ...

Patients with this condition are described as having had chronic open-angle glaucoma in the past with high tension and the resultant sequelae. Late in the course of the disease the untreated intraocular pressure drops as the result of ciliary body atrophy and aqueous hyposecretion.

Glaucoma is a common disease, about 2% in a European derived population older than 40 years of age are affected by its most common form, open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Open-angle glaucoma is a progressive disease leading to irreversible blindness in about 15% of those affected.

65 million people affected by glaucoma. 44 million with open-angle, 21 million with angle-closure. 10 million are bilaterally blind. 10% of the open-angle glaucoma patients. 25% for angle-closure patients. M. ore people are blind from angle closure, even though it is far less common. Angle closure glaucoma is very prevalent in Asian populations
Low-Tension Glaucoma
Angle-closure glaucoma: occurs when the iris bulges forward, narrowing (narrow-angle glaucoma) or closing the angle formed by the cornea and the iris keeping the aqueous humor from draining properly or at all; can occur abruptly (acute angle-closure) or gradually (chronic angle-closure) Low-tension glaucoma

No significant association was found between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and high tension glaucoma. An inverted association was found between low diastolic perfusion pressure and open angle glaucoma. Vijaya L et al (9) conducted a study in rural south India on the prevalence of OAG.
