Glaucoma and CNS. Comparison of fMRI results in high tension and normal tension glaucoma.

Aim: The objective of our work was to determine whether there is a difference in fMRI activation between patients with high tension glaucoma (HTG) and those with normal tension glaucoma (NTG).

Method: The sample consisted of eight patients with different stages of high tension glaucoma (3 females aged 41-65 and 5 males aged 40-73 years) and eight patients, also with different stages of normal tension glaucoma (6 females aged 53-70 and 2 males aged 40-52 years). The control group consisted of eight healthy subjects (3 females aged 23-46 and 5 males aged 23-65 years).
