Some Open-Angle Glaucoma Patients May Benefit From Reduction Of Pressure Within The Eyeball.

HealthDay (8/9, Preidt) reported that, according to a study published online Aug. 9 in the Archives of Ophthalmology, "patients with glaucoma who have more rapid visual field change than other patients may benefit from a reduction of pressure within the eyeball." During "the study, 216 patients with open-angle glaucoma were given standard treatment for controlling intraocular pressure...and were followed up with re-examination every four months." The study authors found that "reducing intraocular pressure appeared to slow the rate at which some...patients experienced declines in visual field."

All I can say is WTF!
