β-Zone Parapapillary Atrophy and the Velocity of Glaucoma Progression

Purpose β-Zone parapapillary atrophy (PPA) occurs more commonly in eyes with glaucoma. Rates of glaucomatous visual field (VF) progression in eyes with and without β-zone PPA at the time of baseline assessment were compared. Design Retrospective, comparative study. Participants Two hundred forty-fiv...

Zusammenfassung:	Purpose β-Zone parapapillary atrophy (PPA) occurs more commonly in eyes with glaucoma. Rates of glaucomatous visual field (VF) progression in eyes with and without β-zone PPA at the time of baseline assessment were compared. Design Retrospective, comparative study. Participants Two hundred forty-five patients from the New York Glaucoma Progression Study. Methods Subjects with glaucomatous optic neuropathy and repeatable VF loss were assessed for eligibility. Eyes with a Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II (HRT) examination, at least 5 visual field tests after the HRT in either eye, optic disc photographs, and
