The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) found that visual field loss accelerates significantly after primary open-angle glaucoma diagnosis, with progression linked to older age, higher cup-to-disc ratios, and greater IOP variability.
Anti-VEGF injections for retinal diseases cause significant short-term IOP spikes that tend to normalize within 15 minutes.
