ABSTRACT
To study factors related to visual field damage in Possner- Schlossman Syndrome(PSS) .Methods 145 cases of PSS and 166 cases of promary open angle glaucoma(POAG)were followed up with tonometer and perimeter. Results①Prevalence of visual field damageamong PSS and POAG cases were 35.43% and 93.42% respectively;72.11% of the visual field damage in the PSS group was of early stage,while 78.92% of that in the POAG group was of middle or late stage.②Compared with PSS cases with no visual field damage,the damaged cases were older;their course of the disease was longer;the average IOP between crises was higher;more cases were involved binocularly;more cases demonstrated abnormal diurnal and nocturnal IOP varianle or no crossover phenomenon. ③Systematic examination was given to 26 PSS cases with visual field damage and among them, 11 cases were confirmed to be complicated with POAG. Conclusion①Although the incidence of visual field damage done by PSS is much smaller and the symptoms slighter than those done by POAG,the prognosis of PSS is by no means optimistic. ②Coses at more advanced age, with longer course, with higher IOP between crises, with binocular involvement or without IOP crossover phenomenon are at a higher risk of visual field damage. ③Serious damage can be done by PSS itself.
