In 5 centers, factors influencing the development of visual-field defects (GVFD) in open-angle glaucoma patients were studied for 13 yr. In 5000 subjects, GVFD developed in only 1.7% of eyes. Statistical analysis of 26 factors at 1st examination identified 5 significantly related to the development of GVFD: outflow facility, age, applanation pressure, cup-disc ratio and pressure change after water drinking. Their absolute initial value, and not its change with time, was the important predictor. Multivariate analysis showed their collective predictive power to be undesirably poor indicating that other factors must play an important role in the development of GVFD. Mortality-table analysis indicated that during 5 yr, 98.54% of eyes with initial pressure less than 20 mm Hg were free from GVFD as compared with 93.34% of those with pressure 20 mm Hg or greater.
