Abstract
Objective: To investigate. The association between Primary open Angle Glaucoma (POAG), intraocular Pressure (IOP) and systemic hypertension.
subjects: consecutive newpatients with documented history of over three months and current attendees at hypertension clinic of Benha university hospital were enrolled into the study.
Results: In hypertensive group (HTN); mean IOP was 23.4 mmHg and 28 cases with IOP more Than 21 mmHg. 26 cases showed glaucomatous changes in the visual filed. In control group; mean IOP was 12.9 mHg and 11cases with IOP more than 21 mmHg. 10 cases showed glaucomatous changes in the visual field
Conclusion: systemic hypertension. Showed a modest positive association with elevated intraocular pressure. The strong relationshio with IOP in part supports the association with POAG.
