Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of the adrenergic receptor (ADR) and diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) in Japanese normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients. DESIGN: Prospective, comparative case series. PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-two untreated NTG patients. METHODS: The IOP of both eyes was measured at 3-hour intervals from 0600 to 2400 hours over 2 consecutive days. We used IOP data...
