Diagnostic category IOP Photo grade 24-2 SAP visual field test result
Ocular hypertension >22 mmHg* or taking IOP-lowering medication AND Normal AND Normal
Glaucoma suspect (GON only) Not applicable Glaucomatous AND Normal
Glaucoma with 24-2 visual field loss** Not applicable Glaucomatous AND Glaucomatous (repeatable)

Abbreviations: IOP= intraocular pressure; GON= glaucomatous optic neuropathy; SAP: standard automated achromatic perimetry

*

Intraocular pressure 22 mmHg or higher measured as such on baseline examination or documented history of such

**

Standard automated perimetry 24-2 visual field results were considered abnormal if the pattern standard deviation (PSD) had a P< 5% or the Glaucoma Hemifield Test result was “outside normal limits.” Abnormality had to be confirmed with an additional visual field test.
