Predicting the risk of parafoveal scotoma in myopic normal tension glaucoma: role of optic disc tilt and rotation

Purpose The purpose of the study was to evaluate the factors associated with development of parafoveal scotoma in early myopic normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Patients and methods Ninety-nine myopic NTG patients with mean deviation (MD) >−6.0 decibels (dB) were enrolled. Parafoveal scotoma was def...

Zusammenfassung:	Purpose The purpose of the study was to evaluate the factors associated with development of parafoveal scotoma in early myopic normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Patients and methods Ninety-nine myopic NTG patients with mean deviation (MD) >−6.0 decibels (dB) were enrolled. Parafoveal scotoma was defined as a visual field (VF) defect within 10° of fixation with at least one point at P
