Factors Associated With Differences in the Initial Location of Structural Progression in Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

Different clinical factors were associated with the initial site of structural glaucoma progression in patients with NTG depending on its peripapillary or macular location, and these findings suggest possible differences in underlying mechanisms of glaucoma…
