Comorbidity of diseases of the cardiovascular system and primary open-angle glaucoma

This literature review examines the potential diagnostic contribution of syndromes and cardiovascular diseases: hypertension, atherosclerosis, vascular dystonia, and cerebrovascular pathology in the development of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The study of relationships is relevant due to the commonality of some pathogenetic factors of POAG and these diseases and syndromes. It is necessary to take into account the effect of comorbid pathology in the early diagnosis of POAG, which will improve its quality, and the correction of associated disorders will contribute to the effectiveness of complex treatment of the disease.
