Practical approach to medical management of glaucoma. Indian J Ophthalmol. 2008;56(3):223–230. "The philosophy of glaucoma management is to preserve the visual function and quality of life (QOL) of the individual. Essentially, (functional) vision should outlast the patient. Our aim is not to treat just the intraocular pressure (IOP), optic disc or visual field, but to treat the patient as a whole so as to provide maximum benefit with minimal side effects." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2636120/ 7. Jay JL, Murdoch JR. The rate of visual field loss in untreated primary open angle glaucoma. Br J Ophthalmol. 1993;77(3):176–178. " For pressures of 21 to 25 mm Hg, untreated disease is likely to progress from early field changes to end stage in an average of 14.4 years. The same interval for pressures of 25 to 30 mm Hg was 6.5 years and for pressures over 30 mm Hg, 2.9 years. For untreated disease at pressures over 25 mm Hg the interval is estimated at 3.6 years and this is much shorter than the estimated period of 10 years under imperfect treatment and 38 years under optimum treatment identified in a prospective clinical trial..." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC504466/pdf/brjopthal00039-0044.pdf 8.
