Unusual Presentations of Low-Tension Glaucoma
Low-tension glaucoma can sometimes be difficult to diagnose, particularly if patients do not have a classic presentation. This case series shows the value of Humphrey visual field (HVF) 10-2 tests to identify deficits in central vision. Case 1 describes a female in her mid-60s who presented complaining of a “blind spot” in her right eye. While a HVF 24-2 suggested her test was “within normal limits,” an HVF 10-2 showed an unusually shaped scotoma in her right eye that matched her visual complaint. Case 2 describes a male in his mid-60s who was referred to the glaucoma service by a retina specialist. He complained of a “blind spot” in his left eye and was revealed to have a focal central scotoma on his HVF 10-2 test. Both patients presented with normal intraocular pressures, and both had been cleared by retina specialists and neuro-ophthalmologists. Both patients were then diagnosed with low-tension glaucoma, and treatment to date has been successful in slowing vision loss.
