Associating the magnitude of relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) with visual field indices in glaucoma patients

Abstract

The prevalence of RAPD in glaucoma patients is comparatively small (25%). The magnitude of RAPD in glaucoma subjects is associated most closely with the LVOL within 30° eccentricity (which is the maximum visual field region tested in this study) and most loosely with central DLS, underscoring the impact of the entire (30°) visual field area on the afferent pupillary system.
