ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To find out the mean rate of progression (MROP) of visual fields (VF) in patients with primary open?angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) using FORUM® Glaucoma Workplace.Methods:
Two hundred and one eyes of 105 patients were included in this prospective cohort study. Patients with POAG and OHT were recruited, and VF analysis with 24?2 and or 10?2 was done using SITA standard strategy in Zeiss Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (HFA). All the previous VFs were identified from FORUM software, and the baseline indices were recorded from the first reliable VF analysis. The present VF analysis was compared to the previous one using FORUM software, and the rate of progression (ROP) in VF was obtained by Guided Progression Analysis.Results:
MROP of VF in the POAG group was ? 0.085 dB/ year, ranging from ?2.8 to 2.8 dB/year with a standard deviation (SD) of 0.69. In the OHT group, the MROP of VF was ?0.003 dB/year, ranging from ? 0.8 to 0.5 dB/year with an SD of 0.27. The MROP of VF in medically treated eyes with POAG was ?0.14 dB/year with an SD of 0.61 and in surgically treated eyes was ?0.02 dB/year with an SD of 0.78. The overall baseline mean VF index (VFI) was 83.19% and the final mean VFI was 79.80%. There was a statistically significant decrease in the mean VFI value from baseline to the final visit (P?value 0.0005).Conclusion:
The mean ROP of VF in the POAG group was ?0.085 dB/year and in the OHT group was ? 0.003 dB/year
