The Collaborative Normal-Tension Glaucoma Study (CNTGS) was a randomized clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of a 30% reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) (using either medical therapy or filtration surgery) on visual field (VF) progression in eyes with normal-tension glaucoma. The study found that reducing the IOP of patients with normal-tension glaucoma by 30% is beneficial to prevent progression of glaucomatous damage if the visual effects of cataracts are excluded from consideration. However, because not all untreated patients progressed, the natural history of normal-tension glaucoma must be considered before embarking on IOP reduction with therapy that may exacerbate cataract formation, unless normal-tension glaucoma threatens serious visual loss.

Purpose To determine the correlation between neuroretinal rim area and functional losses detected by short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) in a population of patients with suspected glaucoma. Methods Forty-two eyes of 42 ocular hypertensive subjects who met the selection criteria (intraocular pressure greater than 21 mm of Hg and normal conventional visual fields) were studied. A planimetric optic nerve head study was performed, determining the total and sectorized neuroretinal rim areas. SWAP was also done, with a modified Humphrey field analyzer. Results There were no significant correlations between the neuroretinal rim areas and the global perimetric parameters. However, the correlations between the inferotemporal neuroretinal rim area and some superonasal visual field regions (areas 3 and 4) were significant. Conclusions There is a relation in the topography of some visual field areas assessed by SWAP and the inferotemporal neuroretinal rim area, which may play a role in the diagnosis and follow-up of suspected glaucoma.
