We studied the mode of progression of visual field defects in glaucoma the using static computerized perimetry (OCTOPUS 201). As a result of analysis using Delta Program, the modes of progression of the visual field defects were divided into two groups, general depression and local depression. The cases of general depression were younger than those of local depression. In cases of local depression, we examined the direction of progression in isolated scotomas. Isolated scotomas located at the nasal visual field tended to progress toward the nasal and peripheral side.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D005901	Glaucoma	An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

D016009	Chi-Square Distribution	A distribution in which a variable is distributed like the sum of the squares of any given independent random variable, each of which has a normal distribution with mean of zero and variance of one. The chi-square test is a statistical test based on comparison of a test statistic to a chi-square distribution. The oldest of these tests are used to detect whether two or more population distributions differ from one another.
