## Purpose: To investigate possible associations between genetic markers and primary open-angle glaucoma (poag). ## Methods: A number of genetic markers were typed in 84 unrelated patients with poag and compared with a random sample of healthy individuals. the markers were transferrin, group spec
To assess the temporal relationship between field and disc change in early glaucoma, 24 patients with unilateral visual field loss from primary open angle glaucoma were identified for planimetric optic disc measurements. Cross-sectional analysis of disc rim area was performed and compared to 25 age-
The retinal ganglion cell exhibits two types of functional change. The difference in response appears to depend on whether or not the retrobulbar portion of the optic nerve is actively involved. This may imply differences in the myelinated and nonmyelinated portions of the optic nerve and associated
## Abstract Genetic factors and the influence of superoxide are known to play roles in the etiology of glaucoma. We evaluated the association between primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and two polymorphisms in the epithelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene, and one polymorphism in the myeloperoxi
