Patients initially suffer from gaps in their visual field, the part of the visual range that can be perceived without eye movement. In the early stages of the disease, this damage can be compensated very well by eye movements. This, in turn, means that glaucoma is often not diagnosed until the disease is more advanced.展开更多
