Some observations on the relation between intraocular pressure reduction and the progression of glaucomatous visual loss

Abstract

A quantitative measure of visual field loss associated with kinetic perimetry in chronic open-angle glaucoma (COAG) is discussed. With this new technique an analysis of covariance is applied to a retrospective study of 41 COAG patients. It suggests that reduction of intraocular pressure may not be uniformly effective in controlling the progression of the disease.
