Aim:
To present diagnostic particularities, assessment of prognosis, and the need for treatment in a case of normal-tension glaucoma.
Methods:
- presentation of clinical changes and investigations supporting the diagnosis; - careful anamnesis that disclosed new elements, useful for the evaluation of the case.
Results:
after a two-year follow-up period, we can ascertain that the optic atrophy is non-progressive.
Conclusions:
the assessment of risk factors and a rigorous anamnesis were significant for the establishment of prognosis and need for treatment.

Surface Tension, Capillary Action, and Viscosity
The various IMFs between identical molecules of a substance are examples of cohesive forces. The molecules within a liquid are surrounded by other molecules and are attracted equally in all directions by the cohesive forces within the liquid. However, the molecules on the surface of a liquid are attracted only by about one-half as many molecules. Because of the unbalanced molecular attractions on the surface molecules, liquids contract to form a shape that minimizes the number...
