IL-8 in AH of POAG patients with mild versus severe visual field defects. Concentrations of IL-8 in AH of patients with reliable HVF test results showing either mild (mild, open circles, n = 15) or severe (severe, closed circles, n = 15) visual field defects were compared. Median concentrations: mild, 4.7 pg/mL; severe, 7.3 pg/mL. IL-8 was significantly higher in patients with severe visual field defects than in patients with mild visual field defects (P < 0.05). Visual field defects were defined as mild for patients with mean deviations no worse than −6 dB and severe for mean deviations worse than −12 dB.
