    Ocular pressure and fluid dynamics tests showed limited ability to predict future glaucoma-related visual field defects. Further research is needed to identify other risk factors for developing glaucoma damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma Research
    • Ocular Fluid Dynamics

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness.
    • Early detection of glaucoma risk is crucial for timely intervention.
    • Predicting future visual field defects in glaucoma is a significant clinical challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate if ocular pressure and fluid dynamics measurements can predict future visual field defects in glaucoma.
    • To quantify the predictive value of these ocular parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study involving 5886 eyes with elevated pressures.
    • Follow-up period of 1-13 years to monitor for visual field damage.
    • Analysis of factors including tonography C-value, age, applanation pressure, cup/disc ratio, and pressure change after water drinking.

    Main Results:

    • 1.7% of eyes with elevated pressures developed visual field damage.
    • Tonography C-value, age, applanation pressure, cup/disc ratio, and pressure change after water drinking were statistically significant predictors.
    • The cumulative predictive ability of these identified factors was limited.

    Conclusions:

    • Current measures of ocular pressure and fluid dynamics have limited predictive power for glaucoma-induced visual field defects.
    • There is a critical need to identify novel, potentially unsuspected factors influencing glaucoma development.
    • Continued research is essential to improve the prediction and prevention of glaucoma progression.
