Blood Pressure and Glaucoma Progression

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY
About this episode

What is the relationship between blood pressure and visual field progression? Can systemic arterial blood pressure be used to assess the risk of glaucomatous progression? Dr. Emily Schehlein finds out from Dr. David S. Greenfield, author of Ophthalmology's "Relationship between Blood Pressure and Rates of Glaucomatous Visual Field Progression: The Vascular Imaging in Glaucoma Study."
