Show notes Talking About Glaucoma #13 December 2010 Glaucoma Risk FactorsIn this episode, Dr Nicolela and I discuss the risk factors  for the development of glaucoma. This includes talking about the difference between risk factors for developing disease vs those for disease to progress. Much of our current knowledge is based on information from clilnical trials and population studies over the past decade. Bear in mind that still intraocular pressure remains as the single most important modifiable risk factor, even in normal tension glaucoma patients.Some of the risk factors discussed include intraocular pressure (IOP), age, race (african americans and  U.S. Latinos), pachymetry (corneal thickness), family history, and low perfusion pressure as well as signs that likely represent early manifestation of the disease itself such as vertical disc cupping and disc haemmorhages.Dr Nicolela is Associate Professor and Fellowship Director in the Department of Ophthalmology &amp; Visual Sciences at Dalhousie University.Dr Marcelo NicolelaDepartment of Ophthalmology &amp; Visual Sciences1278 Tower RoadRm. 2035, 2 W Victoria Halifax NS  B3H 2Y9Tel: (902) 473-3622Fax: (902) 473-2839Email: nicolela@dal.ca—————————————————————————Selected ReferencesReferences for exfoliation as independent risk factor for glaucoma development:• Päivi Puska.

Look for more episodes as I still have another couple that are recorded that I have to edit.Opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and are not intended to be taken as the standard of care for glaucoma treatment.
