Differences between the Characteristics of Normal Tension Glaucoma and High Tension Glaucoma

Abstract

Normal tension glaucoma is a type of primary open angle glaucoma in which the intraocular pressure is in the normal range. Although both normal tension glaucoma and high-tension glaucoma resemble clinically each other, there are some differences between both of them. In this editorial, I aim to summarize the differences between the characteristics of these glaucoma types. If these are well-known, the diagnosis and management of normal tension glaucoma will be easier.
