Objective: To evaluate the ability of progressive optic disc damage detected by assessment
of longitudinal stereophotographs to predict future development of functional loss in those
with suspected glaucoma. Methods: The study included 639 eyes of 407 patients with
suspected glaucoma followed up for an average of 8.0 years with annual standard
automated perimetry visual field and optic disc stereophotographs. All patients had normal
and reliable standard automated perimetry results at baseline. Conversion to glaucoma was …
