[Follow-up of cases of suspected glaucoma (author's transl)].
The authors analysed the findings in 280 patients suspected of glaucoma. These patients were controlled over a long period in the course of which 30 developed a glaucoma. The authors recommend the measurement of IOP in all patients in the office so far as there is no contraindication and a 1/2 yearly control of all suspected cases to begin with. They recommend further that after 4 year control the provocative tests should be repeated in case there is yet no manifestation of the disease. Finally they recommend that the pilocarpine-test should be done if the pressure level reaches 26 mm Hg in order to fish out cases of manifest glaucoma early enough.
