To discover if there is difference in central visual field damage between low-tension glaucoma (LTG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes, the data obtained with the 10-2 threshold program of the Humphrey visual field analyzer were analysed using logistic discriminant analysis. One hundred and four LTG eyes from 65 case (maximum IOP < or = 21 mmHg) and 48 POAG eyes from 34 cases (maximum IOP > or = 25 mmHg) with early to moderately advanced visual field damage were included. There was no significant difference in mean deviation (MD, STATPAC), refraction, or age between the 2 groups. The analysis demonstrated that an arcuate area in the upper central 5-10 degrees of the visual field was significantly more depressed in LTG than in POAG eyes.

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.
