Progression from ocular hypertension to visual field loss in the English hospital eye service.

CONCLUSION: Less than one-fifth of OHT patients managed in glaucoma clinics in the UK converted to POAG over a 5-year period, suggesting many patients may require less intensive follow-up. Our study provides real-world evidence for the efficacy of current management (including IOP-lowering treatment) at reducing risk of conversion. PMID: 32217541 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
