Evaluating visual field detection methods in early glaucoma patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of three different perimetric grids in identifying central visual field defects in patients with early-stage glaucoma who have reduced ganglion cell layer thickness. By comparing the agreement between these grids, the research seeks to determine the most reliable method for detecting visual impairments associated with glaucoma. The observational nature of the study allows for the collection of data without any interventions, focusing solely on the evaluation of existing diagnostic techniques.
