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

IMPORTANCE: Gait dysfunction is common in older people with visual impairment and is a major cause of falls. OBJECTIVE: To compare 3-year longitudinal changes in gait measures across the spectrum of baseline visual field (VF) damage in glaucoma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A post hoc analysis was designed on September 1, 2018, following a prospective cohort study, which enrolled older adults with glaucoma or suspected glaucoma from September 2013 to March 2015 and followed up for up to 3 years. Baseline VF damage was defined by integrated VF (IVF) sensitivity and categorized as normal/mild (IVF >28 dB), moderate (IVF, 23-28 dB), and severe (IVF
