Five patients with evidence of severe bilateral carotid artery disease and increased intraocular pressure have been followed up for 3 to 12 years without the development of glaucomatous disc or field changes. Although it is frequently stated that glaucoma patients with low systemic or ophthalmic artery blood pressures show rapid progression of their eye disease, our patients show that this is not necessarily true. Other more important and largely unknown susceptibility factors determine the occurrence of glaucoma in patients with raised intraocular pressure.
五名患有严重双侧颈动脉疾病且眼压升高的患者已被随访3至12年，未出现青光眼性视盘或视野改变。尽管经常有人说，全身或眼动脉血压低的青光眼患者其眼病进展迅速，但我们的患者表明情况未必如此。其他更重要且很大程度上未知的易感因素决定了眼压升高患者青光眼的发生。
