The Role of Intraocular Pressure and Systemic Hypertension in the Progression of Glaucomatous Damage to the Macula

Conclusion: Macular structural and functional parameters are more sensitive to IOP in terms of glaucomatous progression when compared with more conventional parameters. While HTN was not significantly associated with progression using any parameter, macular structural and functional parameters had a better goodness-of-fit to model progression and may be useful as endpoints.
