SAN DIEGO — Visual field defect on baseline 10-2 testing most effectively predicted subsequent progression on 24-2 testing in patients with glaucoma, Michael J. Sullivan-Mee, OD, FAAO, said at an ...

A small study found that decreased retinal vascular density identified by optical coherence tomography angiography may be linked to faster visual field loss at extended follow-up. Glaucoma is ...

Glaucoma patients show slower visual response times, indicating impaired visual signal processing rather than motor or attention deficits. The study involved glaucoma patients and healthy controls, ...

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness because it progresses silently, often without early symptoms. Experts ...

Higher mean blood pressure (BP) levels were associated with faster rates of visual field progression in patients with glaucoma, according to a retrospective cohort study. Among 985 patients, the ...

The COVID-19 pandemic made it clear that we need novel solutions for monitoring patients with chronic diseases such as glaucoma. One area that is particularly ripe for disruption is perimetry testing.

Glaucoma affects peripheral vision, creating blind spots in the outer edges of a person’s visual field. This can affect daily activities such as driving and walking. Glaucoma is the name for a group ...

There are typically no visual changes in the initial stages of glaucoma. As damage occurs to the optic nerve, people may develop blind spots in their peripheral visual field. Some can see halos and ...

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause slow, progressive damage to the optic nerve in the back of the eye, says Schultz. This growing damage is due to unsafe fluid buildup that causes pressure ...
