Problems in the diagnosis of normal tension glaucoma

Wang Ningli

Abstract

Normal tension glaucoma(NTG)refers to typical glaucomatous optic disc cupping and visual field loss in eyes that have normal IOP,open angles,and the absence of any contributing ocular or specific systemic disorders.Accurate assessment of IOP,measurement of diurnal and postural fluctuations of IOP at least twice and exclusion of ocular or systemic contributing diseases are essential in the diagnosis of NTG.
