Whether you call it "normal" or "low" tension glaucoma, this lecture should be of benefit to medical students, residents/fellows and anybody who wants to refresh basic knowledge. Topics that are covered include when to order brain imaging and how to handle patients with progressive glaucoma despite very low intraocular pressure.

The cupping theory was mistakenly introduced into the ophthalmology establishment the 1850s. At the time, ophthalmologists found the optic discs of subjects with painless blind eyes as being ‘cupped’ when seen for the first time with the newly invented ophthalmoscope. However, the cupping theory has been unable to explain the orderly, peripheral-to-central loss of nerve fibers occurring in primary open-angle glaucoma - a salient feature of this disease.

Its a nice analysis of the disease. So now, what is the root cause of LTG? That is where we should start the process of treatment or healing. If the cause LTG is unknown, I wonder what medical science could do unless God interferes to heal.
