[Early defects in the visual field in glaucoma (author's transl)].
This study shows that the field defects in simple glaucoma can occur as paracentral scotoma (77%) as well as nasal skip defects (20%) in the central or peripheral field. Also a combination (54%) of both defects is already possible at the start. This points out that more than one nerve bundle can be affected either simultaneously or one shortly after the other. It was also remarkable that by Drance's modification of Armaly's method for two eyes a typical nasal skip and/or a paracentral scotoma with temporal visual field defect occurred as the first sign.
