[Corrrelation between blood pressure levels in patients with glaucoma (Literature review)].

The problem of correlation between blood pressure levels and intraocular pressure is one of the most talked about. Both, Russian and foreign literature, reflects the heterogeneity of views on the impact of blood pressure changes into the level of intraocular. pressure. At the same time it underestimated the role of systemic cardiovascular changes in the deterioration of visual function in case of primary open-angle glaucoma. Numerous data demonstrate the role of additional factors than average blood pressure levels in advance of glaucoma. More and more researchers tend to assess not only intraocular pressure, but also perfusion pressure as a risk predictor of advance of glaucoma. Correlation between blood pressure level and intraocular pressure has a particular relevance due to the significant improvement of the range of cardiovascular drugs that can affect on intraocular pressure indictors. A number of literature data confirm the need to research variations in blood pressure levels during the day and types of therapy that patients receive.
