A free home contrast sensitivity test correlated with glaucomatous macular damage (10-2 VF), suggesting its potential for remote glaucoma monitoring.

This study investigated if macular nerve damage in glaucoma affects facial recognition, finding a potential link between structural damage and this visual function.

This study found diffuse, not focal, glaucomatous macular damage significantly impairs contrast sensitivity and facial recognition. Identifying diffuse damage via OCT/VF can help minimize visual disability.

Glaucoma patients with macular damage show impaired facial recognition, even with good central acuity, partly due to reduced contrast sensitivity. This highlights a critical functional impact beyond vision loss.

This study found diffuse macular damage in mild-moderate glaucoma predicts worse low-light vision and mobility, highlighting its impact on daily function beyond standard tests.
