The Collaborative Normal-Tension Glaucoma Study (CNTGS) was a randomized clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of a 30% reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) (using either medical therapy or filtration surgery) on visual field (VF) progression in eyes with normal-tension glaucoma. The study found that reducing the IOP of patients with normal-tension glaucoma by 30% is beneficial to prevent progression of glaucomatous damage if the visual effects of cataracts are excluded from consideration. However, because not all untreated patients progressed, the natural history of normal-tension glaucoma must be considered before embarking on IOP reduction with therapy that may exacerbate cataract formation, unless normal-tension glaucoma threatens serious visual loss.
