Abstract
Disc hemorrhages are known as precursors of the development of visual field defects in ocular hypertension and of deterioration of field defects in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) [2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13]. However, it is not clear if disc hemorrhages are also implicated in the deterioration of visual field defects in low-tension glaucoma (LTG).
