Prcis: The severity of central visual field (VF) defects on 24-2 VF and related scotomas on 10-2 VF may be predicted by assessing perimetric defects at abnormal central 12 points on 24-2 VF in early glaucoma. Purpose: Investigating the association between perimetric parameters at abnormal central 12 points on 24-2 VF and the severity of central visual field defects (CVFDs) on 24-2 VF and related parafoveal scotomas on 10-2 VF. Methods: We examined 64 eyes of 56 glaucoma patients with CVFDs on 24-2 VF with a mean deviation better than -7 dB and completed 24-2 and 10-2 VF testing within 6 months.
On the basis of 10-2 VFs' pattern defects, eyes were grouped into 3: an arcuate parafoveal scotoma, severe defect; partial arcuate, moderate defect; and minimal defect. VF parameters at abnormal points (P<1%) within the central-most 4 and paracentral 8 points on total deviation/pattern deviation…
