14 eyes of 14 normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients with the maximum intraocular pressure (IOP) > or = 19 mmHg and 16 eyes of 16 NTG patients with the maximum IOP < 19 mmHg were examined. All patients had a scotoma confined to the upper or lower hemifield. Eyes with the maximum IOP > or = 19 mmHg showed significantly diffuse retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) loss in the RNFL area corresponded to the spared visual hemifield as compared to those with the maximum IOP < 19 mmHg. The results suggests that, even in NTG, IOP may be an important factor causing optic nerve damage.
对14例最大眼压≥19mmHg的正常眼压性青光眼（NTG）患者的14只眼以及16例最大眼压<19mmHg的NTG患者的16只眼进行了检查。所有患者均有局限于上半视野或下半视野的暗点。与最大眼压<19mmHg的患者相比，最大眼压≥19mmHg的患者在与保留的视觉半视野相对应的视网膜神经纤维层（RNFL）区域显示出明显的弥漫性RNFL丢失。结果表明，即使在NTG中，眼压可能也是导致视神经损伤的一个重要因素。
