The Visual Field in Normal Tension and Hyper Tension Glaukoma

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine whether normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is different from hypertension glaucoma (HTG) in global indices -with regard to the pattern defect (PD) and overall defect (OD) of the visual field. PD is statistically higher than OD (p = 0.0001) in patients with NTG.

Patients with HTG showed statistically higher OD values when compared to PD (p = 0.000).
