摘要
Two groups consisting of 20 normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients and 20 high-tension glaucoma (HTG) patients, respectively, having similar visual field defects underwent retinal nerve fiber layer analysis using a computerised digital image system. Subjects with NTG showed rather localised than diffuse nerve fiber loss as compared to HTG patients. The results support the hypothesis that there exist at least two different mechanisms in the pathogenesis of glaucoma damage.
