Purpose: General reduction of differential light sensitivity in glaucoma is a controversial issue. Purely diffuse visual field loss is not a sign of glaucoma, but it has been postulated that the best parts m the visual field are always affected to some extent. We studied the best parts of the visual field in a material of glaucomatow visual fields. Methods: Humphrey 30-2 threshold tests from 19...

AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of glaucoma drainage device Ex-PRESS(®) P-50 for combined cataract surgery and glaucoma. METHODS Patients having cataract and open angle glaucoma or patients with open advanced glaucoma which needed two or more antiglaucoma medications were included. Combined cataract surgery and glaucoma with Ex-PRESS(®) P-50 model placed under scleral flap was perform...

BACKGROUND This study addresses the prevalence and clinical presentation of patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in the greater Accra metropolitan area. METHODS This is a retrospective case series of 455 patients (813 eyes) at the Emmanuel Eye Clinic. Patients were diagnosed from May 2008 to Nov 2011. The definition of POAG conformed to the International Society of Geographical an...

OBJECTIVE Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type of glaucoma in Africa. We carried out a study to determine the clinical presentation pattern of patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) at a tertiary hospital in Malawi. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Lions Sight First Eye Hospital-a major referral and teaching state eye hospital in Blantyre, Malawi. SU...

Glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy characterized by progressive damage to the optic nerve, death of retinal ganglion cells and ultimately visual field loss. It is one of the leading causes of irreversible loss of vision worldwide. The most important trigger of glaucomatous damage is elevated eye pressure, and the current standard approach in glaucoma therapy is reduction of intraocular pres...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the peripheral binocular visual field (PBVF) in patients with glaucoma using the threshold strategy of Humphrey Field Analyzer. METHODS We conducted a case-control pilot study in which we enrolled 59 patients with glaucoma and 20 controls. All participants were evaluated using a custom PBVF test and central 24 degrees monocular visual fiel...
