  • 摘要:Achievement of target intraocular pressure is the goal of every efficient antiglaucoma therapy. Target intraocular pressure is the level of intraocular pressure which is associated with minimal likelihood of visual field or optic nerve lesion, or an existing lesion progression due to elevated intraocular pressure. Results of large clinical studies which have offered some new concepts on target intraocular pressure in the management of glaucoma are reviewed. An association between the curve of intraocular pressure decrease and glaucoma progression was demonstrated in these studies. Generally, a lower value of target intraocular pressure implies better protection from the loss of vision and visual field impairment in glaucoma patients. In advanced glaucoma, the greatest possible reduction from the initial intraocular pressure should be attempted. A 20% reduction from the initial intraocular pressure or decrease to glaucoma has been recognized as a favorable strategy to reach target intraocular pressure. In normal tension glaucoma, a lower value of target intraocular pressure is associated with a slower disease progression. In patients with initial glaucoma, 25% reduction from the initial intraocular pressure will slow down the disease progression by 45%. The value of target intraocular pressure depends on the pretreatment level of intraocular pressure, optic nerve condition, glaucoma disease state, rate of glaucoma progression, patient's age, and other risk factors for the development of glaucoma.
