The genesis of functional deficiencies in the hypertensive eye. (Clinical study).
peer reviewed1. The identity between the defects in the visual field of secondary glaucomas, on one hand, and those of open angle glaucomas, on the other hand, is a proof of the role of hypertension in the functionnal alterations of open angle glaucoma. 2. Studies of the relation between hypertension, on one hand, and visual defects on the other hand reveal: a. that increase of the scotomas is nearly always interrupted when the ocular tension is below 17 mm. Hg; b. that there is a great difference in the individual sensibility of patients to hypertension. 3. These differences, according to Goldmann and Gafner's hypothesis, seem to depend on individual characteristics of the vessels pattern in the head of the optic nerve. © 1959 Uitgeverij Dr. W. Junk
