Characteristics of central visual field progression in eyes with optic disc hemorrhage
American Journal of Ophthalmology Jun 09, 2021
David RCC, Moghimi S, Do JL, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective cohort study to examine the characteristics and rate of central visual field loss after optic disc hemorrhages (DH). The sample consisted of 220 individuals (343 eyes) who had at least 3 years of follow-up with a minimum of 5 visits with 10-2 and 24-2 visual field (VF). Using the linear mixed-effects model in DH and non-DH eyes, rates of 10-2 mean deviation loss in each hemifield and pre-defined zones were compared. Thirty-nine eyes with DH and 304 eyes without DH had a mean follow-up of 5.2 years. The central visual field loss in glaucoma eyes with DH is accelerated, and it corresponds topographically to the DH location. To monitor the disease in glaucoma patients with DH, 10-2 VFs should be supplemented with 24-2 VFS.
