Abstract
ELEVATED INTRAOCULAR pressure (IOP) is often associated with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and was formerly included among the criteria for defining OAG.1 Although individuals with high IOP are at increased risk for OAG, most will never develop the disease.1,2 In addition, a growing body of evidence indicates that the risk factors for high IOP are not necessarily the same as for OAG, 3,4 further suggesting that these conditions have separate etiologic mechanisms.Keywords
