Abstract

Abstract: Evaluation of central vision in glaucoma is important due to its impact on patients’ quality of life and activities of daily living such as reading, driving, and walking. The 10-2 visual field (VF) assessment remains a mainstay in the functional analysis of central vision in glaucoma diagnosis and progression. However, it may be underutilized in clinical practice. Monitoring of disease progression especially in advanced cases, glaucoma evaluation in certain ocular disorders such as high myopia, disc hemorrhage, low corneal hysteresis, and certain optic disc phenotypes, as well as earlier detection of central VF damage, are certain conditions where additional monitoring with the 10-2 pattern may provide complementary clinical information to the commonly utilized 24-2 pattern. In addition, the development of artificial intelligence techniques may assist clinicians to most effectively allocate limited resources by identifying more risk factors to central VF damage. In this study, we aimed to determine specific patient characteristics that make central VF damage more likely and to assess the benefit of incorporating the 10-2 VF in various clinical settings.
