We observed 16 eyes of ten glaucoma patients for a mean of 17 years (range, eight to 42 years). Each patient had typical glaucomatous damage to the optic disk and visual field. In most cases, decrease in intraocular pressure prevented further damage over extended periods. Our data reinforces the importance of intraocular pressure reduction in preventing visual loss in glaucoma.
我们观察了10例青光眼患者的16只眼睛，平均观察时间为17年（范围为8至42年）。每位患者的视盘和视野均有典型的青光眼性损害。在大多数情况下，眼压降低可在较长时间内防止进一步损害。我们的数据强化了降低眼压在预防青光眼视力丧失方面的重要性。
