A Prospective Longitudinal Study to Investigate Corneal Hysteresis as a Risk Factor of Central Visual Field Progression in Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the role of corneal hysteresis (CH) as a risk factor of central visual field (VF) progression in a cohort of glaucoma suspect and glaucoma patients.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Methods

Two hundred forty-eight eyes of 143 subjects who were followed for an average of 4.8 years with a minimum of 5 visits with 10-2 and 24-2 VF tests were included. Univariable and multivariable linear mixed-effects models were used to identify characteristics associated with the rate of change over time in 10-2 and 24-2 mean deviation (MD). Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to evaluate characteristics associated with an increased likelihood of event-based 10-2 VF progression based on the clustered pointwise linear regression criterion.
