Retinal Adaptation Abnormalities in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma [Visual Psychophysics and Physiological Optics]

Conclusions.
Neural adaptation is weaker in glaucoma patients for all three classes of RGCs. Since adaptation abnormalities are manifested even at retinal locations not exhibiting a visual field loss, this novel form of assessment may offer a functional insight into glaucoma and an early diagnosis tool.
