Abstract
To date, evidence from multiple randomized controlled trials has shown that effective intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering therapy significantly reduces the risk of glaucomatous progression across all stages of the disease. Changes in IOP have a substantial impact on the load-bearing connective tissues of the optic nerve head (ONH), as well as the overlying neurovascular tissues of the ONH and retina. An initial treatment goal of reducing IOP by 25% to 35%—and possibly more in advanced cases—can help prevent progression. Additionally, maintaining stable IOP by minimizing both diurnal and long-term fluctuations may further enhance disease control and reduce the risk of worsening.
