“Optic nerve of steel”: A case of very high intraocular pressures with markedly little visual field progression over years
The limited visual field progression with chronically high IOP over years strongly argues in favor of IOP-independent mechanisms contributing to pathophysiology of glaucoma. This case also highlights the importance of longitudinal monitoring and tailoring glaucoma therapy holistically to individual patient circumstances.
