In all, 20 eyes of 20 normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients and 20 eyes of high-tension glaucoma (HTG) patients matched for similar visual field defects underwent retinal nerve-fiber-layer (RNFL) analysis using a computerized digital-image analysis system. Subjects with NTG showed more localized RNFL loss than diffuse loss as compared with HTG patients. The results support the hypothesis that there may be different mechanisms of damage in glaucoma.
共有20例正常眼压性青光眼（NTG）患者的20只眼和20例高眼压性青光眼（HTG）患者的20只眼，这些患者具有相似的视野缺损，使用计算机数字图像分析系统对其视网膜神经纤维层（RNFL）进行了分析。与HTG患者相比，NTG患者的RNFL损伤表现为更局限而非弥漫性。这些结果支持了青光眼可能存在不同损伤机制的假说。
