The Visual Field of Low Tension Glaucoma and Shock-Induced Optic Neuropathy

Visual Field Loss Morphology in High- and Normal-Tension Glaucoma

“…However many years earlier, both Bjerrum and later Sjogren did not find any difference between these two subgroups [4, 5]. Also Drance did not find any differences in the characteristics of the visual field of HTG, NTG, and ischaemic anterior optic neuropathy with Goldmann perimetry [24]. Many other studies were possible to find in the literature, and some authors believed that HTG and NTG had different visual field defects and ONH damage [1–13] while others found that the optic disc and visual field appearances were similar between the two subgroups [14–19].…”

Glaucomatous damage of the macula

“…The suggestion of a greater thinning in the inferior retina has a counterpart in the clinical literature, where glaucomatous damage has been reported to be more severe in the upper VF (e.g. Nicholas and Werner, 1980; Drance, 1977; Heijl and Lundqvist, 1984; Lewis and Phelps, 1984). In any case, our primary concern here is with the macular RGC damage seen in eyes with glaucoma.…”

Comparison of localised nerve fibre layer defects in normal tension glaucoma and primary open angle glaucoma

“…15 The exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) MD (mean deviation) of more than −14 dB on Humphrey C30-2 program. By limiting the MD value below −14 dB, we excluded the eyes with severe visual field defects from this study; (2) previous ocular pathology such as retinal diseases and cataract, or a history of ocular surgery; (3) patients older than 70 years to rule out senile NFL atrophy.…”
