It turned out that 3 genetic loci probably associated with POAG have been identified, and these findings would provide the foundation for future studies to build on, such as for the metaanalysis, to reveal the molecular mechanism of the POAG pathogenesis.

Although the functional effects of the LOXL1 SNP appear to be qualitative rather than quantitative, the amino acid substitution (R141L) caused by SNP rs1048661 is not a simple decisive factor for XFG due to the inverted allele frequency between Japanese XFG and Caucasian XFG patients.

The incidence of LNR in the Japanese population, including normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients, is higher than among European or American patients, and only low baseline IOP was a significant clinical factor among LNR.
Evaluation of the pressure phosphene tonometer as a self‐tonometer

The usefulness of the FPT as a self‐tonometer is evaluated by comparing FPT IOP readings with those obtained with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), and the influence of central corneal thickness (CCT) on IOP measurements obtain with the two different devices.

In NTG patients, LA reduced IOP more effectively than the beta tested, and switching to LA significantly decreased IOP and increased IOP-RR in all groups.
