Asymmetric Patterns of Visual Field Defect in Primary Open-Angle and Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma.

In both POAG and PACG eyes, VF damage was more pronounced in superior hemifield than inferior hemifield; however, this tendency was more obvious in POAG eyes than in PACG eyes.

Rates of Visual Field Loss in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Asymmetric Patterns.

POAG eyes showed a faster rate of VF loss in the superior hemifield compared to in the inferior hemifield, particularly in central and paracentral regions. This difference was not observed in PACG eyes.

Evaluation of anterior chamber angle by van Herick grading and ultrasound biomicroscopy in light and dark conditions for finding appositional angle closure and plateau iris configuration.

The VH grade of ≤2 and ≥3 showed significant association with UBM angle width and ciliary body configuration parameters. The VH ≤ 2 criterion should be useful for screening of A-ITC and PI.
