[Early defects in the visual field in glaucoma (author's transl)]. 1978

S M Drance, and R Susanna, and M Fairclough

This study shows that the field defects in simple glaucoma can occur as paracentral scotoma (77%) as well as nasal skip defects (20%) in the central or peripheral field. Also a combination (54%) of both defects is already possible at the start. This points out that more than one nerve bundle can be affected either simultaneously or one shortly after the other. It was also remarkable that by Drance's modification of Armaly's method for two eyes a typical nasal skip and/or a paracentral scotoma with temporal visual field defect occurred as the first sign.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D012607 Scotoma A localized defect in the visual field bordered by an area of normal vision. This occurs with a variety of EYE DISEASES (e.g., RETINAL DISEASES and GLAUCOMA); OPTIC NERVE DISEASES, and other conditions.

D014786 Vision Disorders Visual impairments limiting one or more of the basic functions of the eye: visual acuity, dark adaptation, color vision, or peripheral vision. These may result from EYE DISEASES; OPTIC NERVE DISEASES; VISUAL PATHWAY diseases; OCCIPITAL LOBE diseases; OCULAR MOTILITY DISORDERS; and other conditions (From Newell, Ophthalmology: Principles and Concepts, 7th ed, p132).
