Inclusion Criteria | |
·Subjects… | Were 30–80 years old. |
Had visual acuity better than 0.155 (BCVA, LogMAR). | |
Had at least one eye with primary open angle glaucoma. | |
Had no optic nerve head anomalies (approximately, 2.4< DM/DD <3). | |
Had no other disease affecting the visual field. | |
Had no conditions that might cause secondary glaucoma. | |
Had undergone automated perimetry with the Humphrey Field Analyzer (SITA standard 30–2 or 24–2) in the six months before the test day. | |
Had remaining visual fields of at least MD >−12dB in their most recent tests. | |
Had been reliably tested with the Humphrey Field Analyzer (SITA standard 30–2) at least six times for more than three years (fixation loss <33%, false positive and false negative <20%). | |
Had visual field defects corresponding to glaucomatous optic disc change. | |
Had no history of intraocular surgery other than for glaucoma or cataracts. | |
Had no history of surgery for the previous three years. | |
·If both eyes met the inclusion criteria, the eye with more advanced glaucoma was selected. |
BCVA: best corrected visual acuity
DM/DD: disc-macula distance to disc diameter ratio
MD: mean deviation
