Abstract

Normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) has long been poorly understood in terms of diagnosis, pathophysiological mechanisms, and therapy. This confusion is nefarious because NTG is not uncommon, is easily missed in its earliest stages, can affect central visual field early, and is difficult to treat. NTG is surprisingly common in Japan, ¹ but we have likely underappreciated its frequency in the United States.
