Study Notes

There is evidence that lowering IOP reduces the risk of progression of POAG (Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study – AGIS, Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial – EMGT).
To date, there is no controlled trials for POAG, with randomization to treatment or observation.
A multicenter clinical trial based in the UK is under-way which will hopefully address this.
For some POAG patients, lowering of IOP does not stop their progression.
Searching for other reversible risk factors for POAG is essential.
