The relationship between the fluoroangiographic aspect of the optic disk and the visual field in patients with the exfoliation syndrome with and without intraocular hypertension. Part I: Bilateral cases.

95 eyes of patients with bilateral exfoliation syndrome (ES) were examined with fluoroangiography. The visual field and the intraocular pressure were tested in the same eyes. The relationship between visual field defects, fluoroangiographic changes of the optic disk and intraocular hypertension is discussed. The results show that when hypertension and defects of perfusion are present in the same eye the visual field defect is always present and it is more severe.
