[Ocular hypertension and glaucoma].
To examine the relationship of ocular hypertension (O.H.) and primary open angle glaucoma (P.O.A.G.) with reference of two patients which presented papillo-campimetry changes after 38 and respectively 24 years after O.H. was diagnosed (at levels between 30 and 45 mm Hg). The ratio IOP/F (feeding of the papilla and retina) is time depending, e.g. IOP x T/ F x 1/T. Because in the O.H.T.S. values of Goldmann applanation tonometry was not corrected by the central corneal thickness; and also SWAP technique was not available by that time, the author considers confirmation of POAG at the term of 5 years as high as 14,6-24,6%. Thus, the O.H. must be named as pre-campimetry glaucoma, when the IOP exceeds 25-26 mm Hg.
