Association between contrast sensitivity function and structural damage in primary open-angle glaucoma.

Full spatial frequency contrast sensitivity impairment, most notably at low spatial frequencies, is a characteristic change in POAG. Contrast sensitivity is a potential functional endpoint for the measurement of glaucoma severity.

Correlation of contrast sensitivity with ganglion cell/inner plexiform layer thickness and damage location in glaucoma with varying severity.

GC/IPL thinning in all sectors of the macular region in OAG was correlated with contrast sensitivity impairment, whereas the inferior temporal sector was least affected.
