Table 2.
Degree of Visual Field Damage | Cases of Confirmed or Probable Glaucoma |
---|---|
Advanced (MD < −11.9 dB) | 10 (10.7%) |
Moderate (MD −11.9 to −6 dB) | 15 (16.1%) |
Initial (MD > −6 dB) | 58 (62.3%) |
No reliable visual field available | 10 (10.7%) |
Total | 93 |
Degree of glaucoma based on mean defect (MD) of the visual field. For this calculation, only cases of confirmed glaucoma and probable glaucoma were included. Most of glaucomas identified by the screening program had initial glaucomatous damage. VF: visual field, dB: decibels.
