| Research Abstract |
We revealed a 15-year prognosis of normal tension glaucoma and found that disc hemorrhage and fluctuation of the intraocular pressure are significant prognostic factors. We also showed long-term prognosis of primary angle closure disease and indicated that the extent of peripheral anterior synechiae is a prognostic factor. Optical coherence tomography was shown to be effective to detect early glaucomatous changes in the macula. The incidence of bleb-related infection was prospectively investigated and bleb leakage was found to be a risk factor for the infection. Appropriate measures to those prognostic factors will improve the prognosis of glaucoma in the near future.
