Zusammenfassung:Abstract The author has been involved in 3 studies, the multicentre Collaborative Normal-Tension Glaucoma Study, a study of 4 phenotypes of glaucomatous disc appearances and their associations, and a study reporting on biostatistical evidence for 2 distinct chronic open-angle glaucoma populations. These studies have some common threads whose clinical implications are discussed.
