Abstract
Evidence has recently accumulated that there are certain differences in clinical manifestations, in terms of visual field an optic disk findings between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and low-tension glaucoma (LTG) [2, 5–7]. However, these results were mostly based on single observations, not on a longitudinal study.
