    Abstract : This thesis addresses the reliability of Goldmann-type applanation tonometers (GAT). It deals with the investigation of the relation between predicted intraocular pressure, IOPG and true pressure, IOPT. READ MORE

  6. 9. Self-monitoring av intraocular pressure and its clinical application

    Author : Laurence Quérat; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Purpose: Measuring the intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the most common ophthalmologic examinations, especially within glaucoma management. An elevated IOP is a major risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma, and is so far the only modifiable parameter. READ MORE

  7. 10. Studies on the Epidemiology of Open-angle Glaucoma

    Author : Curt Ekström; Albert Alm; Bertil Lindblom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Ophtalmology; Open-angle glaucoma; Epidemiology; Capsular glaucoma; Chronic simple glaucoma; Normal tension glaucoma; Pseudoexfoliation; Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma; Prevalence; Incidence; Intraocular pressure; Oftalmiatrik;

    Abstract : Glaucoma is a common disease in the elderly population. Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is the predominant form of glaucoma. Chronic simple glaucoma and capsular glaucoma, characterized by the occurrence of pseudoexfoliation in the anterior eye segment, are the most frequent types of OAG. READ MORE
