Patterns of Daily Physical Activity across the Spectrum of Visual Field Damage in Glaucoma Patients.

At worse levels of VF damage, glaucoma patients demonstrate shorter, more fragmented bouts of physical activity throughout the day and lower activity levels during typical waking hours, reflecting low physiologic functioning.

Association Between Visual Field Damage and Gait Dysfunction in Patients With Glaucoma.

At worse levels of baseline VF damage, patients with glaucoma in this study demonstrated an exacerbated decline in walking speeds (ie, stride velocity and cadence), indicating that mobility speeds decrease faster over time in older…

Importance and Severity Dependence of Physical Activity by GPS-Tracked Location in Glaucoma Patients.

Restriction of physical activity in more patients with severe glaucoma results mostly from activity restriction outside the home environment.

Outcomes of a Physical Activity Intervention in Patients With Glaucoma: A Feasibility Study.

Patients with glaucoma enrolled in a structured PA intervention increased mean PA by at least 50% over 7 weeks, retaining activity for 6 months, with some IOP declines but no VF changes.
