The modeling exercise indicates that most patients in glaucoma clinics are not at high risk of progressing to statutory blindness, and the likelihood of patients suffering impairment in their lifetimes is linked to VF loss at presentation, which illuminates the importance of reliably detecting significant VF defects in primary care.

Expert review of ophthalmology
This review provides an overview of what the authors know about rates of glaucomatous visual field and structural loss and summarizes the literature on what stage of vision loss affects vision related quality of life, and the value of predicting functional impairment based on life expectancy and severity of the disease.

The majority of patients with glaucoma in this study would have a maximum tolerable rate of progression slower than −1dB/year in their better eye, which raises the issue of feasibility with regard to the number of visual field tests needed.

It is essential to treat glaucoma patients on an individual level and monitor them with life expectancy in mind, and only a minority of elderly treated patients with early visual field loss at the point of diagnosis are at high risk of blindness in their lifetime.

It is likely that implementing the proposed guidelines of 6 VFs in the first two years is more cost-effective than annual monitoring however a scoping study to examine the required costs of improving the glaucoma monitoring infrastructure is required.

In this cohort, approximately two-thirds of patients with glaucoma died within 20 years of diagnosis and the overall goal of preventing visual handicap and blindness is achievable 20 years after diagnosis.

Differences in fast and catastrophic visual field progression can exist despite only small changes in median progression rates, highlighting the importance of considering the full shape of the progression rate distribution when comparing the risk of devastating visual field loss.

Older age and, to a lesser extent, worse VF damage at diagnosis are indicators for faster VF loss in clinics, but frequency of VF testing was similar for all patients and did not vary by age, rate of loss or disease severity.

Although Chauhan et al stressed the importance of the assessment of the rate of progression (depicted by a mean deviation (MD) slope), their analyses actually addressed the question of how many fields are needed to detect a slope significantly different from zero, leaving unanswered thequestion of how accurately that slope can be determined.

A linear model of the pointwise sensitivity values against time of follow-up can provide a framework for detecting and forecasting glaucomatous field progression and generate the most accurate predictions of future field status.

It is indicated that self-reports of vision-targeted health-related quality of life are sensitive to visual field loss and may be useful in tandem with the clinical examination to fully understand outcomes of treatment for glaucoma.

This study shows that POAG does affect the quality of life, with regards to glaucoma clinic visits, eye drops, and surgical procedures, and a significant proportion of patients with POAG do lose vision resulting in driving ineligibility and certification as visually impaired, although actual blindness is uncommon.
