| Abstrakt: | Purpose: To reassess the diagnosis in a group of patients with diagnosis and treatment for open-angle glaucoma. Method: Group of 100 patients with diagnosis and treatment for open-angle glaucoma, sent in our clinic for automated perimetry. We assess: intraocular pressure, automated perimetry, the head of optic disc; sometimes we stopped the treatment and reassess the intraocular pressure; sometimes pahimetry. We confirm or not the diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma. Results: In 41 patients the diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma was not real. Conclusions: The diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma is made often without clear medical evidences. |
