The severity and spatial distribution of @entity227 in XXXX : a comparison of @entity725 and primary @entity2747 .

@entity725 @entity227 @entity5494 @entity231 @entity726 @entity1781 @entity2747
OBJECTIVE: To compare the characteristics of @entity227 in primary @entity2747 (PACG) and @entity725 ( @entity725 ). METHODS: Subjects with @entity726 aged 30 years and older were prospectively considered for inclusion. Automated static white-on-white perimetry was performed. A minimum of 2 reliable tests was required with a @entity5494 ( @entity5494 ) within 2 dB on 2 tests. Subjects with previous symptomatic angle-closure, normal-tension @entity726 , visually significant @entity231 , or previous intraocular surgery were excluded. RESULTS: Of 234 subjects assessed, 129 had @entity725 , and 105 had PACG. The MDs ( @entity725 group, -13.3 dB; PACG group, -18.0 dB) indicated more severe @entity227 in subjects with PACG. In subjects with @entity725 , the superior hemifield was more severely affected than the inferior. This was less pronounced in subjects with PACG. Following stratification by @entity5494 , the difference between hemifields was marked in the mild (-10 dB<or= @entity5494 ) and moderate (-20 dB<or= @entity5494 <-10 dB) subgroups but was not present in the severe ( @entity5494 <-20 dB) subgroup. We detected differences between @entity725 and PACG in retinal sensitivity between the superior and inferior hemifields, independent of severity of damage. CONCLUSIONS: The pattern of @entity227 was different in the 2 diseases. This may give insight into the pattern of @entity227 in predominantly pressure-dependent @entity1781 .
