Improved Estimates of Visual Field Progression Using Bayesian Linear Regression to Integrate Structural Information in Patients with Ocular Hypertension

Abstract

BLR provides a significantly more accurate estimate of the rate of change in MS than the standard OLSLR approach, especially in short time series, suggesting that structural measurements can be used successfully in statistical models to assist clinicians monitoring VF progression in patients with OHT. Further studies are necessary to validate the method in glaucoma patients.
