    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma Research

    Background:

    • Glaucoma simplex is a leading cause of irreversible blindness.
    • Accurate classification of visual field defects is crucial for effective glaucoma management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a novel method for quantifying visual field defects in glaucoma simplex.
    • To establish a sensitivity factor (F) for improved patient classification.

    Main Methods:

    • A new method was developed integrating Amsler grid charts and ophthalmodynamometry.
    • Measurements included brachialis blood pressure and intra-ocular pressure.
    • A sensitivity factor (F) was calculated based on these parameters.

    Main Results:

    • The calculated sensitivity factor (F) demonstrated utility in classifying patients.
