Abstract

This analysis describes the influence of miotics (pilocarpine) on the visual field obtained from the Goldmann perimetry testing of 10 ocular hypertensive eyes (7 patients) and 10 glaucomatous eyes (8 patients) by comparison of two visual fields testing at miotic state and at normal pupil size. The analysis of visual field was done by Esterman grid for functional estimation and by section paper for gross evaluation. The results were as follows; 1. Decreased pupillary size caused not only the decrease of the gross visual field but also the decrease of the functional visual field. 2. Absolute scotoma was not influenced by the pupillary size.
