Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine if a chronic dehydration is a risk factor for the developement or progression of some forms of glaucoma.
Detailed description

Objective evaluation of hydration status is assessed with the Body Composition Monitor (Fresenius). Retinal Vessel Analysis and Laser Doppler Flowmetry are investigated in subgroups.
