    Abstract:
    To discover if there is difference in central visual field damage between low-tension glaucoma (LTG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes, the data obtained with the 10-2 threshold program of the Humphrey visual field analyzer were analysed using logistic discriminant analysis. One hundred and four LTG eyes from 65 case (maximum IOP < or = 21 mmHg) and 48 POAG eyes from 34 cases (maximum IOP > or = 25 mmHg) with early to moderately advanced visual field damage were included. There was no significant difference in mean deviation (MD, STATPAC), refraction, or age between the 2 groups. The analysis demonstrated that an arcuate area in the upper central 5-10 degrees of the visual field was significantly more depressed in LTG than in POAG eyes.
