Among patients with suspected or confirmed glaucoma, higher average blood pressure and greater variability in blood pressure were associated with faster visual field loss, according to a study ...

While most children with glaucoma have at least one visual field test per year, Black and multiracial children were among those with significantly lower testing frequency, according to a single ...

What glaucoma patients actually see might differ from what visual field tests show; early glaucoma can be missed if patient perception is not taken into account.

A visual field test, or perimetry, assesses your peripheral (side) vision. Loss of peripheral vision is often the first symptom of glaucoma, causing blind spots or tunnel vision.

This study helps to further clarify the structure-function relationship between retinal thickness and visual field testing results. In our previous work using a case series of glaucoma patients ...

Higher mean blood pressure (BP) levels were associated with faster rates of visual field progression in patients with glaucoma, according to a retrospective cohort study. Among 985 patients, the ...

In patients with glaucoma, frequent visual field testing may be associated with earlier detection of the condition's progression, according to a new study.

Learn what a visual field is, how to test it, when to test it, and what different types of tests can be used to test the visual field.

Threshold visual-field tests determine the dimmest light the patient can see 50% of the time in 24-30 areas of the field of vision. Despite the test’s subjective nature, cooperative patients ...
