Abstract
Glaucoma affects 2% of US adults older than 40 years,1and as many as 10% have suspected glaucoma.2Determining who should be treated requires that we understand when and how glaucoma produces disability. Classically, glaucoma was believed to have little functional significance except in advanced disease. However, little direct evidence exists to tell us when glaucoma produces vision-related disability.Keywords
