Ayala M, et al. - In this retrospective study involving 128 patients [54 in the open-angle and 74 in the exfoliation glaucoma group], researchers sought to compare visual field progression in new-diagnosed exfoliation vs open-angle glaucoma patients. All patients have been followed for 3 years with reliable visual fields. The data presented in this work showed a more rapid and quicker visual field progression in exfoliation than in primary open-angle glaucoma patients. New-diagnosed exfoliation glaucoma patients must be controlled and treated more rigorously than patients with primary open-angle glaucoma to prevent worsening of the visual field.
