Table VII-1: High-Tension and Normal (Peak) Tension Glaucoma at first exam, between the patients
with Suspect, Incipient and Advanced Glaucoma.
From this Table VII-1 we conclude that from all the glaucoma patients, as increase their damage,
there are decreasing quantities of patients, from 57 patients Suspects of Glaucoma, to 53 patients
with Incipient Glaucoma, and to 26 (Cup/Disk ratio=0.8) and 15 (Cup/Disk ratio=0.9) and 6
(Cup/Disk ratio=1) patients with Advanced Glaucoma.
We conclude that as increase their glaucomatous damage (glaucomatous Optic neuropathy),
also increase the percentage of patients with high-tension glaucoma (intraocular pressure of 22
mmHg or more), from Suspects from Glaucoma with 11%, to Incipient Glaucoma with 19%, and to
Advanced Glaucoma with 31% and 53% and 83%. Simultaneously, decrease the patients with Normal
(Peak; Low) Tension Glaucoma, from 89%, to 81%, to 69%, to 47% and to 17%.
We conclude that the patients with Normal (Peak; Low) Tension Glaucoma far exceeded those
with High-Tension Glaucoma in almost all categories. In the patients Suspects of Glaucoma (89% of
LTG versus 11% of HTG); in the patients with Incipient glaucoma (81% of LTG versus 19% of HTG);
and in the patients with Advanced Glaucoma Cup/Disk ratio=0.8 (69% of LTG versus 31% of HTG).
Only in the Advanced Glaucomas Cup/Disk ratio=0.9 and 1, the High-tension Glaucomas were
more frequent than the Normal (Peak; Low) Tension Glaucomas.
We conclude that the absolute majority (76,4%) of all glaucoma patients have their high intraocular
pressures damage at other hours far from the medical office, because on the office examination
their intraocular pressures are low (Intraocular pressure of 21 mmHg or smaller), or “normal”.
Thus, the physicians denominate them as “Normal tension Glaucoma” or “Low-Tension Glaucoma”.
They indeed are Peak Tension Glaucomas.
Similar result was found on the Beijing Eye Study 2006, which included 3251 subjects: Mean age
was 60.4+/-10.0 years (range, 45-89 years). Glaucoma was defined by a glaucomatous appearance of
the optic disc. More than 80% of the glaucoma subjects had an intraocular pressure measurement
