Abstract
To show whether there is a correlation between visual field changes in normotensive glaucoma and changes in functional magnetic resonance of the visual cortex. The authors demonstrated that in the patients with normotensive glaucoma there are no corresponding functional changes in the cerebral cortex, unlike hypertensive glaucoma where the advanced stage of glaucoma changes was associated with lower activation of the visual cortex.
They assume that normotensive glaucoma has different pathogenetic behavior than hypertensive glaucoma.
