Relationship between visual field loss and contrast threshold elevation in glaucoma
BACKGROUND There is a considerable body of literature which indicates that contrast thresholds for the detection of sinusoidal grating patterns are abnormally high in glaucoma, though just how these elevations are related to the location of visual field loss remains unknown. Our aim, therefore, has been to determine the relationship between contrast threshold elevation and visual field loss in ...
متن کاملRelationship between preferred sleeping position and asymmetric visual field loss in open-angle glaucoma patients.
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between preferred sleeping position and asymmetric visual field (VF) loss in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients. DESIGN Retrospective, cross-sectional study. METHODS Six hundred and ninety-two (692) patients with bilateral normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) or high-tension glaucoma were consecutively enrolled. A questionnaire to determine the preferred sle...
متن کاملQuantitative relationship between cupping of the optic disc and visual field loss in chronic simple glaucoma.
The extent of cupping was measured from optic disc photographs of 300 patients with ocular hypertension and suspected or established chronic simple glaucoma, and their visual fields were recorded. The incidence of field defects increased as the vertical cup:disc ratio increased, a value of 0-70 for this ratio being a particularly useful guide to the presence or absence of field loss. There was ...

متن کاملThe Relationship Between Visual Acuity and the Reproducibility of Visual Field Measurements in Glaucoma Patients.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between visual acuity (VA) and reproducibility of test-retest visual field (VF) measurements in glaucoma patients. METHODS Subjects were comprised of 627 eyes of 627 open-angle glaucoma patients. The reproducibility of two Humphrey VFs (24-2 or 30-2 Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm tests) examined twice within the per...
