Abstract
Predicting the risks developing in glaucoma is extremely important for early diagnosis. Changes in the optic disc, including the large cup disc ratio, neuroretinal rim abnormalities, and hemorrhaging on the disc, and intraocular pressure elevation are known risk signs. In addition to these, depression of differential light sensitivity, color vision disturbance, and decreased contrast sensitivity are also recognized as risk factors (Drance et al. 1981. 1983: Flammer 1985).
