Relative afferent pupillary defects in primary open-angle glaucoma--five years' experience.
Journal of the National Medical Association
|December 1, 1985
Summary
Relative afferent pupillary defect was found in 23% of primary open-angle glaucoma patients. This finding strongly correlates with asymmetric visual-field loss in the more severely affected eye.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neurology
Background:
- Asymmetric primary open-angle glaucoma can present with relative afferent pupillary defects, but incidence data is limited.
- Primary open-angle glaucoma is characterized by elevated intraocular pressure, optic nerve damage, and visual field loss.
