The prognosis of glaucoma investigated with computerized perimetry. 1984

R de Natale, and E Glaab-Schrems, and G K Krieglstein

The efficacy of glaucoma therapy in preventing progression of glaucomatous field loss was investigated in a retrospective study. Hundred eyes with glaucomatous field defects of 71 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean observation period was 3.8 years. The evaluation of potential visual field changes was made with the biostatistical program Delta of the Octopus computerized perimeter. All field examinations were done with the same automated perimeter (Octopus, model 201). In 19% of the eyes adequate medical or surgical therapy failed to arrest the disease process. Improvement or deterioration of the whole field can be simulated by changes of the pupillary diameter, whereas deterioration in the pathologic area only is highly specific for progression of the glaucomatous process.

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.
