Abstract
Aim: To describe the distribution of ocular perfusion pressure hypertensive patients.
 Design: Cross-sectional observation study.
 Materials and Methods: Hospital-based, case control cross-sectional study conducted on 100 patients. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) was measured with a Mercury Sphygmomanometer. Mean ocular perfusion pressure (MOPP) = ⅔ (mean arterial pressure − IOP), where mean arterial pressure (MAP) = DBP + ⅓ (SBP − DBP), systolic perfusion pressure (SPP) = SBP – IOP and diastolic perfusion pressure (DPP) = DBP − IOP was calculated.
 Results: High values of diastolic BP (>90 mmHg) and low values of OPP (<40 mmHg) were associated to an increased risk of confirmed POAG.
 Conclusion: There is a close relationship between OPP and confirmed glaucoma in hypertensive patients.
Highlights
Intraocular pressure (IOP) has been distinguished as the most significant modifiable hazard factor for the improvement of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), anyway recognizing other conceivably modifiable hazard factors have likewise been order in treatment of these conditions
Total of 100 individuals were screened, of which, the mean age of the participants was 52 years, minimum and maximum age is 40 and 60 years (Table 1). These revelations lead to the conclusion of the U-frame interaction between BP and the growth of glaucoma
The important idea is the interaction between BP, IOP and POAG
Summary
Intraocular pressure (IOP) has been distinguished as the most significant modifiable hazard factor for the improvement of POAG, anyway recognizing other conceivably modifiable hazard factors have likewise been order in treatment of these conditions. Ailments like foundational hypertension contributes towards expanded IOP through overproduction or disabled surge of fluid cleverness. Not many investigations have discovered measurably noteworthy relationship between foundational hypertension and IOP. Diastolic or systolic foundational circulatory strain (BP) and IOP [3]. Mean OPP (MPP) = 2/3 [diastolic BP + 1/3 (systolic BP – diastolic BP)] – IOP. Systolic OPP (SPP) = Systolic BP – IOP. Diastolic OPP (DPP) = Diastolic BP – IOP. A low mean visual perfusion pressure (MOPP) can hinder perfusion of optic nerve head prompting glaucomatous measuring and visual field misfortune.
