| Research Abstract |
We evaluated structure and function of glaucoma subjects with localized retinal nerve fiber layer defects not accompanied by a perimetric defect according to standard automated perimetry (pre-perimetric glaucoma). Fundus-oriented small-target perimetry was a useful method to detect visual field abnormalities in pre-perimetric glaucoma. The relationship of structure and function of the retinal nerve fiber layer defect was clarified by using fundus-oriented perimetry and optical coherence tomography. Deep defect parts and shallow defect parts are present in a retinal nerve fiber layer defect and it became clear that there was visual field sensitivity depression in the deep defect part of the retinal nerve fiber layer defect.
