Patient-Reported Vision-Related Quality of Life Differences Between Superior and Inferior Hemifield Visual Field Defects in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

Abstract

Superior hemifield IVF was strongly associated with difficulty with near activities. Inferior hemifield IVF impacted vision-specific role difficulties and general and peripheral vision. The impact of a VF defect on a patient's pVRQOL may depend not only on its severity, but also on its hemifield location.
