Brief description This study seeks to determine the optimal methods for detecting early glaucoma - a blinding disease - using new and diverse strategies for selective testing of specific visual pathways, in combination with structural analysis for optic nerve fibre loss. We hope to identify the best combination of available tests to enable earliest identification of glaucomatous damage.
