    Glaucoma visual fields show significant fluctuations, not stable areas. A long-term study reveals that while a small, stable defect core exists, surrounding fluctuations are more common in glaucomatous visual fields.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Visual Neuroscience

    Context:

    • Glaucoma is characterized by progressive optic nerve damage, leading to visual field defects.
    • Understanding the dynamics of these defects is crucial for monitoring disease progression and treatment efficacy.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the structure and fluctuation patterns of glaucomatous visual field defects.
    • To investigate the stability and variability of scotomas over time using a computer-controlled perimeter.

    Summary:

    • A multi-year study involving 1124 visual field examinations in 146 glaucoma patients was conducted using the Peritest perimeter.
    • Results indicate that glaucomatous visual fields exhibit more fluctuations than stable elements, with high-amplitude fluctuations in stimulus threshold values being characteristic.
    • The study identified a stable nucleus (a) of severe defects (≥2.0 logE) but found that accompanying and border fluctuations (b and c) predominated, detected through individual defect recording.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into the dynamic nature of glaucomatous visual field loss.
    • Highlights the importance of analyzing fluctuations, not just stable defects, for accurate glaucoma assessment.
    • Contributes to a better understanding of scotoma structure in glaucoma, aiding in disease management and research.
