Diffuse glaucomatous structural and functional damage in the hemifield without significant pattern loss.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: To compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and retinal sensitivity in the normal visual hemifield of glaucomatous eyes with localized visual field loss with those of normal eyes and eyes with suspected glaucoma, and to ... Read more...

Risk factors for normal-tension glaucoma among subgroups of patients.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for normal-tension glaucoma among subgroups of patients. METHODS: In 93 patients with unilateral normal-tension glaucoma, intereye comparison of baseline spherical equivalent, central corneal thickness, untreated ... Read more...

Prediction of functional loss in glaucoma from progressive optic disc damage.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the ability of progressive optic disc damage detected by assessment of longitudinal stereophotographs to predict future development of functional loss in those with suspected glaucoma. METHODS: The study included 639 eyes of ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Vision Disorders'

Definition: 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. Visual disability refers to inability of the individual to perform specific visual tasks, such as reading, writing, orientation, or traveling unaided. (From Newell, Ophthalmology: Principles and Concepts, 7th ed, p132)
