Color vision deficit in normal-tension glaucoma eyes. 1995

Color vision deficit in 26 eyes with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) is compared with that in 21 eyes with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) using the color perimetry method developed by Iijima et al. Subjects had visual field defects confined to either the upper or the lower hemifield as determined by conventional white-on-white perimetry, and the stage of disease was relatively early with an average mean deviation (MD) of -7 dB. Except for intraocular pressure, there were no significant differences between NTG and POAG subjects in age, refraction, MD, and mean total deviation for spared and damaged hemifield. In the spared hemifield, the incidence of blue-yellow abnormality was significantly different between the two diseases (P = 0.01); in only 11% of the present NTG eyes versus 52% of the POAG eyes in the present study. In the damaged hemifield, however, the blue-yellow abnormality was found in about 75% of the eyes, whether NTG or POAG. This finding may further shed light on the pathogenesis of open angle glaucoma.

D003117 Color Vision Defects Defects of color vision are mainly hereditary traits but can be secondary to acquired or developmental abnormalities in the CONES (RETINA). Severity of hereditary defects of color vision depends on the degree of mutation of the ROD OPSINS genes (on X CHROMOSOME and CHROMOSOME 3) that code the photopigments for red, green and blue.

D003118 Color Perception Mental processing of chromatic signals (COLOR VISION) from the eye by the VISUAL CORTEX where they are converted into symbolic representations. Color perception involves numerous neurons, and is influenced not only by the distribution of wavelengths from the viewed object, but also by its background color and brightness contrast at its boundary.

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.
