Importance and severity dependence of physical activity by GPS-tracked location in glaucoma patients: GPS-tracked physical activity in glaucoma

American Journal of Ophthalmology May 20, 2021

Jian-Yu E, Mihailovic A, Garzon C, et al. - In this prospective cohort study involving 229 candidates, researchers sought to quantify the correlation of visual field (VF) damage on physical activity away-from-home, per away-from-home excursion, and at home. For seven days, participants wore accelerometers and GPS trackers to measure physical activity and characterize activity location. Physical activity restriction in more severe glaucoma patients is primarily due to activity restriction outside of the home environment. Such findings emphasise the importance of maintaining a safe home environment (where activity is less restricted) and increasing confidence in performing activity, particularly high intensity activity, when leaving the home amongst glaucoma patients.
