Association Between Neurocognitive Decline and Visual Field Variability in Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT: Importance:Visual field variability may impair detection of glaucoma progression over time. Despite the possible overlap between neurocognitive disorders and glaucoma in older individuals, no study has investigated the association between cognitive changes and visual field variability. Objective:To evaluate the association between global neurocognitive impairment and visual field variability in patients diagnosed as having glaucoma or glaucoma suspects. Design, Setting, and Participants:This prospective observational cohort study was conducted at the Visual Performance Laboratory, University of California, San Diego. The study involved 211 eyes of 115 patients followed up for a mean (SD) period of 2.5 (0.8) years, ranging from 1.2 to 4.7 years. Data were obtained during the period extendin
