IES, inter‐eye symmetry; IOP, intraocular pressure; L, left; NFI, nerve fibre index; NTG, normal tension glaucoma; POAG, primary open angle glaucoma; R, right; VF, visual field.

*Corrected for central corneal thickness.

Has pseudoexfoliation, also receiving oral prednisolone.

Unreliable visual fields on SAP.

Decision to treat made on clinical grounds. High intraocular pressure and glaucomatous optic disc with splinter haemorrhage. Normal visual field on standard automated perimetry (SAP) and normal GDx.

§Decision to treat made on the basis of abnormal GDx.

**Measure based on the degree of symmetry between the right and left eyes by correlating the temporal‐superior‐nasal‐inferior‐temporal functions from the two eyes. Significant in the event of IES.
