False-negative responses in primary open-angle glaucoma

Abstract

To determine the false-negative response rate in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and its relationship with the mean deviation, we evaluated 286 visual fields of patients with POAG. A high false-negative response rate was found in glaucomatous patients compared with healthy controls. When the mean derivation was compared with the false-negative response rate, a logarithmic correlation was found with Pearson correlation analysis.
