Background: Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness worldwide. It is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the adult population worldwide.Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy. The present study was conducted to assess prevalence of primary open angle glaucoma in patients with hypertension.Subjects and Methods:This cross- sectional study was conducted in outpatient department of SreeNarayana Institute of Medical Sciences. A total of 100 patients with hypertension were included in the study. Prevalence of primary open angle glaucoma in patients with HTN was recorded.Results:Out of 100,59 were males and 41 were females. Among the 100 hypertensive patients, 5% of patients had POAG. Among POAG, 3 were males and 2 were females. The percentage of patients with IOP between 8-21 was 95%, I0P >21 was 5% in right eye. The percentage of patients with IOP in between 8-21 was 95%, IOP >21 was 5% in left eye.Conclusion:High myopia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus has been associated with POAG, however, direct and convincing evidences are still lacking.

Introduction: Various haemodynamic factors have been implicated as pathophysiological mechanisms in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) other than raised Intraocular Pressure (IOP). However, the exact relationship still remains unclear. Aim: To examine the circadian pattern of Blood Pressure (BP), IOP and Ocular Perfusion Pressure (OPP) with the aim of understanding their relationships in a cohort of patients with POAG. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in which 44 cases of newly diagnosed, non-hypertensive patients with POAG were enrolled and categorised based on the severity of glaucoma. Recording of BP and IOP were done every 4th hourly during a 24 hour hospital stay. The Mean OPP (MOPP) was calculated as 2/3×Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)-IOP. Systolic OPP (SOPP) was calculated as Systolic BP-IOP and Diastolic OPP (DOPP) was calculated as Diastolic BP-IOP. The diurnal, nocturnal and 24 hour fluctuations were derived from the difference between the highest and lowest values within each period. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis of the variables with age and severity of POAG were performed Results: Significant positive correlation of the nocturnal fluctuations in MAP (r=0.533), SOPP (r=0.835), DOPP (r =0.768), MOPP (r=0.685) and 24 hour fluctuation in MOPP (r=0.636) were noted with severity of glaucoma on multivariate analysis. No significant correlation of these parameters with age was noted on multivariate analyses. Conclusion: Nocturnal dip in OPP was an important observation among patients with POAG, potentially contributing to its pathophysiology.
