1/3 |
Description of the data set.
The data set contains longitudinal visual field data of 139 glaucoma patients. These patients were recruited from the Rotterdam Eye Hospital (Rotterdam, The Netherlands). Informed consent was obtained from all subjects.
Inclusion criteria:
Exclusion criteria:
Both eyes of each participant were included. Visits were scheduled every 6 months. At each visit, standard clinical ophthalmic examinations were performed, including visual acuity, intra-ocular pressure, gonioscopy and ophthalmoscopy. At each visit, standard automated perimetry was also performed. Visual fields were acquired on a Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (Carl Zeiss Meditec) with a standard white-on-white 24-2 field with the full threshold program. The provided data set contains information on the visual field and on the individual visual field test locations.
Included data:
Inclusion criteria:
- Between 18 and 85 years at time of inclusion.
- Glaucoma diagnosis: Two of the following conditions are met: pattern standard deviation significant at p=0.05, abnormal hemifield test result, cluster of ≥3 points depressed at p=0.05 level or 1 point at p=0.01. VF defects must be reproducible on at least one occasion.
- Primary open-angle glaucoma, normal tension glaucoma, pigmentary glaucoma, and treated angle closure glaucoma. (Pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma was not included.)
Exclusion criteria:
- Secondary glaucomas except pigmentary.
- Evidence of SAP VF abnormality consistent with other disease.
- BCVA > 0.3 (LogMAR).
- Refractive error outside -10.0 to +5.0 D range.
- Cataract surgery in previous 12 months.
- Previous refractive or vitreoretinal surgery.
- Evidence of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, or other vitreo-retinal disease.
- Previous keratoplastic surgery.
- Diabetes, leukemia, AIDS, uncontrolled systemic hypertension, multiple sclerosis or (other) life threatening disease.
