Patients with preperimetric glaucoma who have not yet experienced visual field loss show comparable vision-related quality of life as individuals without glaucoma.
without visual field loss did experience a decreased vision-related quality of life compared with those who did not develop the condition.This cross-sectional study included 679 participants with ocular hypertension from the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study who completed a 20-year follow-up examination and surveys of their vision-related quality of life between 2016 and 2019.Those with unilateral or bilateral disc POAG who had no loss of visual field in either eye.
Those who did not develop POAG in either eye despite having ocular hypertension served as the control group . The main outcomes were differences in the total scores on vision-related quality of life between participants who did not develop POAG and those with various stages of the condition.Scores on the Visual Function Questionnaire did not differ significantly between the participants with early disc PAOG who did not develop visual field loss compared with those without PAOG.
