Patients’ characteristics
| Number of subjects | 156 eyes of 156 patients |
|---|---|
| Age (years) | 64.6±12.9 (28 to 88) |
| Sex, n (%) | |
| Female | 94 (60.3) |
| Male | 62 (39.7) |
| Type of glaucoma, n (%) | |
| NTG | 141 (90.4) |
| POAG | 15 (9.6) |
| Baseline refraction (D) | −2.8±3.7 (−16 to +2.5) |
| Baseline IOP (mmHg) | 16.6±3.7 (8.0 to 28.6) |
| Initial MD value (dB) | −7.08±4.21 (−18.39 to +0.03) |
| Final MD value (dB) | −9.42±5.32 (−25.49 to +0.67) |
| Number of visual field examinations (times) | 12.8±2.7 (10 to 25) |
| Follow-up duration (years) | 7.6±2.0 (4.5 to 16.5) |
Notes: Data are n (%) or mean ± SD (range); NTG was defined as baseline IOP ≤21 mmHg; POAG was defined as baseline IOP >21 mmHg; Baseline IOP was determined by averaging first three measurements taken with Goldmann applanation tonometer before initiation of therapy.
