Comparison of Methods to Detect and Measure Glaucomatous Visual Field Progression.

GRI and PoPLR showed the highest proportion of series detected as progressing and shortest times to progression detection. GRI exhibited the best ability to detect progression in the simulated VF series.

The Trajectory of Glaucoma Progression in 2-Dimensional Structural-Functional Space.

We report a method to visualize the trajectory of a patient's glaucoma progression in a 2-dimensional S-F space. The slope of the trajectory of glaucoma progression is a function of the severity of the disease.

Structural-Functional Glaucoma Progression Trajectory in 2-Dimensional Space.

We present a method that presents glaucoma progression in a 2D S/F space.

Course of Glaucomatous Visual Field Loss Across the Entire Perimetric Range.

Pointwise sigmoid regression had a better ability to fit perimetric decay into a subset of locations that traverse the entire range of perimetric measurements from near normal to near perimetric blindness compared with linear and exponential functions.

Trabeculectomy Can Improve Long-Term Visual Function in Glaucoma.

The results show that trabeculectomy slows the rate of perimetric decay and provide evidence of sustained, long-term improvement of visual function in glaucoma.
