Popis: Central visual field (CVF) loss is important in maintaining vision-related quality of life in eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). The present study investigated whether nasalized location of central retinal vessel trunk (CRVT) at baseline is associated with rapid rate of CVF loss in early-stage OAG eyes. This study included 76 OAG eyes with high nasalization CRVT [HNL] group and 75 OAG eyes with low nasalization CRVT [LNL] group matched for glaucoma severity at baseline that showed progressive visual field (VF) loss. The rates of mean threshold changes at various regions were compared in the two groups using a linear mixed model. Clinical variables associated with rapid rate of CVF progression were also identified using a linear mixed model. The rate of CVF loss in the central 10° was significantly higher in the HNL group than that in the LNL group (−0.452 dB/year vs. −0.291 dB/year, P P P
