Influence of rheological factors on the development of primary open angle glaucoma.
The aim of this study was to compare our non published investigation on the effect of rheological factors on the development of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG)--to literature data. POAG is a chronic eye disease characterised by a slowly progressive neuropathy of the optic nerve with typical anatomical and functional lesions and is associated with specific visual field defects.
