title: Visual field loss following blunt ocular trauma.
abstract: 14 patients (14 eyes) who sustained hyphema after blunt ocular trauma underwent visual field testing on a Humphrey field analyzer. The severity of field defects based on mean deviation (MD) and corrected-pattern standard deviation (CPSD) p values was correlated with age, presence of hyphema and the extent of angle recession. Over 60% of eyes with blunt ocular trauma suffer from a significant visual field loss (MD < 5%). There was no correlation between severity of field defects and the extent of hyphema or the angle recession. MD p values were found to be associated with older group, but not CPSD p values.
