Neurological disorders in open-angle glaucoma

Abstract

The combination of glaucoma with damage to the central nervous system is quite common [4, 11]. The genesis of violations of the hydrodynamics of the eye in such cases remained unclear for a long time. It was assumed that for the development of open-angle glaucoma, in addition to the presence of dysfunction of the higher autonomic centers [1, 2, 7, 9], the impact of other factors is also necessary. A number of authors [3, 5, 8, 10] have found that cervical osteochondrosis causes a cervically caused increase in intraocular pressure.
