Re: De Moraes et  al.: 24-2 Visual fields miss central defects shown on 10-2 tests in glaucoma suspects, ocular hypertensives, and early glaucoma (Ophthalmology. 2017;124:1449-1456)

We read with great interest the cross-sectional prospective study by De Moraes et  al1 describing the prevalence of visual field (VF) defects in glaucomatous eyes, glaucoma suspects, and ocular hypertensives with 24-2 and 10-2 VFs. Although the findings seemed to be very promising and could potentially change our VF testing strategy for glaucoma patients, a closer look leaves a number of unanswered questions and areas of concern that may be beneficial to explain to readers of the article.
