Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare the results of structural and functional examinations in a group of high tension glaucomas of different aetiologies and normal tension glaucoma.Methods and patients: The authors examined 80 eyes in 40 patients; out of this number 30 patients had high tension glaucoma of three types: ten of the patients had primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), ten of them had pigmentary glaucoma (PG) while ten of the monitored patients had pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG). Ten patients had normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Results of the examinations of the visual field, GDx, macular volume, PERG and PVEP were compared with the results of the same examinations in the control group consisting of 40 eyes in 20 healthy subjects of comparable age and refraction.Results: The results were processed using ..
