Visual prognosis in advanced glaucoma
Many surgeons have noted that when the visual field is markedly constricted, immediate and permanent loss of central vision may follow otherwise successful glaucoma surgery. The present study was undertaken to assess the relative risk of surgical therapy in the loss of central vision in patients with advanced glaucoma.
