Binocular Measures of Visual Acuity and Visual Field versus Binocular Approximations.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the relationship of binocular visual function tests with binocular approximations using data from the Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment Study (CIGTS).

Design

Case series based on existing data from a clinical trial.

Participants

Six hundred seven patients with newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma from the CIGTS.

Methods

Monocular visual field (VF) and visual acuity (VA) tests were performed at baseline and every 6 months thereafter. Binocular tests of visual function (Esterman VF score, binocular VA) were added to the CIGTS protocol 3 years into the study. The binocular approximations of binocular visual function were better or worse eye, average eye, better or worse location, and binocular summation or pointwise binocular summation. Ass
