Abstract

Purpose: To determine whether the structure-function relationship in glaucoma can be strengthened by using more precise structural and functional measurements combined with individualized structure-function maps and custom sector selection on the optic nerve head (ONH). Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants: One eye of each of 23 participants with glaucoma. Methods: Participants were tested twice. Visual fields were collected on a high-resolution 3°× 3° grid (164 locations) using a Zippy Estimation by Sequential Testing test procedure with uniform prior probability to improve the accuracy and precision of scotoma characterization relative to standard methods. Retinal nerve fiber layer ..
