Association Between Longitudinal 10-2 Central Visual Field Change and the Risk of Visual Acuity Loss in Mild-to-Moderate Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Prcis

Faster worsening of 10-2 visual field (VF) was associated with the development of visual acuity (VA) loss in mild-to-moderate glaucoma, suggesting longitudinal 10-2 VF change is associated with the risk of VA impairment.

Purpose

To examine whether longitudinal 10-2 central VF change is associated with the risk of VA loss in glaucoma.

Patients and methods

Primary open angle glaucoma and glaucoma suspect eyes with ≥3 years and 5 visits of 10-2 VF examinations were included. Cox proportional hazard modeling with shared frailty was used to evaluate the hazard ratio (HR) of 10-2 VF mean deviation (MD), superior hemifield mean sensitivity (hemi-MS), and inferior hemi-MS worsening rates for developing VA loss, defined as a change in logMAR VA ≥95% test-retest variabili
