Overview

About this book Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, making early detection and management crucial. Protecting central vision is the ultimate goal of glaucoma treatment, yet common visual field tests often overlook early signs of central visual field defects (CVFDs). These defects can significantly impact the quality of life for glaucoma patients. This book offers a comprehensive guide to understanding CVFDs at all stages of glaucoma, from early detection to advanced cases. With over 100 figures, 20 tables, and 10 flowcharts, it provides cutting-edge insights into the detection, diagnosis, and management of CVFDs, combining scientific data with clinical practice.
