Comparison of glaucomatous progression between untreated patients with normal tension glaucoma and patients with therapeutically reduced intraocular pressures. Collaborative Normal Tension Glaucoma Study Group. Am J Ophthalmol Oct;126(4): patient eyes, 61 treatment group, 79 untreated controls. Twenty eight (35%) of the control eyes and 7 (12%) of the treated eyes reached end points (specifically defined criteria of glaucomatous optic disk progression or visual field loss). 53 9

10 What Does the Literature Say? Krupin T, et al. A randomized trial of brimonidine versus timolol in preserving visual function: results from the Low Pressure Glaucoma Treatment Study. Am J Ophthalmol Apr;151(4): brimonidine, 79 timolol Statistically fewer brimonidine treated patients (9, 9.1%) had visual field progression by pointwise linear regression than timolol treated patients (31, 39.2%, log rank 12.4, P=.001). Mean treated IOP was similar for brimonidine and timolol treated patients at all time points. 55 What Does the Literature Say? Poley BJ et al. Intraocular pressure reduction after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in glaucomatous and nonglaucomatous eyes: evaluation of a causal relationship between the natural lens and open angle glaucoma. J Cataract Refract Surg Nov;35(11): The study comprised 124 eyes. The final mean IOP reduction was 8.5 mm Hg (34%) in the 29 to 23 mm Hg group, 4.6 mm Hg (22%) in the 22 to 20 mm Hg group, 3.4 mm Hg (18%) in the 19 to 18 mm Hg group, and 1.1 mm Hg (10%) in the 17 to 15 mm Hg group. In the 14 to 5 mm Hg group, IOP increased by 1.7 mm Hg (15%). 57 What Does the Literature Say? Craven ER et al. Cataract surgery with trabecular micro bypass stent implantation in patients with mild to moderate open angle glaucoma and cataract: two year followup. J Cataract Refract Surg Aug;38(8): Overall, the mean IOP was stable between 12 months and 24 months (17.0 mm Hg ± 2.8 [SD] and 17.1 ± 2.9 mm Hg, respectively) in the stent group but increased (17.0 ± 3.1 mm Hg to 17.8 ± 3.3 mm Hg, respectively) in the control group. Ocular hypotensive medication need was statistically significantly lower in the stent group at 12 months; it was also lower at 24 months, although the difference was no longer statistically significant
