Asymmetry in visual field sensitivity can predict future glaucoma. Patients developing glaucoma showed worse mean sensitivity in one eye, indicating lateral differences are key indicators.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Optometry
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Eye pairs exhibit natural anatomical and pathological asymmetry.
  • Ocular hypertension is a risk factor for glaucoma development.
  • Early detection of glaucoma progression is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if lateral differences in intraocular pressure (IOP), papillary excavation, or visual field predict the transition from ocular hypertension to glaucoma.
  • To identify specific markers of glaucoma development in patients with ocular hypertension.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study analyzing medical records of 47 patients with ocular hypertension.
  • Comparison of patients who remained hypertensive (n=25) versus those who developed glaucoma (n=22).

  • Assessment of lateral differences in IOP, papillary excavation, and visual field indices, including mean sensitivity.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients who developed glaucoma showed significantly higher lateral differences in visual field mean sensitivity compared to those who did not.
    • Worse visual field results were consistently observed on the same side in patients who progressed to glaucoma.
    • These visual field differences were significant even when all indices remained within the normal range.

    Conclusions:

    • Lateral differences in visual field mean sensitivity are a significant indicator of future glaucoma development.
    • Persistent asymmetry in visual field sensitivity, where one eye is consistently worse, can manifest as future glaucoma.
    • Monitoring lateral visual field differences may aid in early glaucoma detection and management.
