Abstract

Successful clinical management of glaucoma should not simply be about control of intraocular pressure, but must equate to correct decisions about intensifying treatment when patients are at risk of developing 'visual disability'. Yet little is known about what visual field defects, at different stages of glaucoma, specifically affect patients' abilities to perform everyday visual tasks. One way to do this is to measure patient performance in tasks in a lab setting. Another way is to ask patients themselves. The latter can be revealing and demystify views about how patients perceive the world. This short commentary highlights some of the current research in this area.
