To assess the relationship of binocular visual function tests with binocular approximations, using data from the Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment Study (CIGTS). Case series based on existing data from a clinical trial 607 subjects with newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma from the CIGTS. Monocular visual field (VF) and visual acuity (VA) tests were taken at baseline and every 6 months thereafter. Binocular tests of visual function (Esterman VF score; binocular VA) were added to the CIGTS protocol 3 years into study. The binocular approximations of binocular visual function were better/worse eye, average eye, better/worse location, and binocular summation/pointwise binocular summation. Associations between binocular tests and binocular approximations to represent binocular visual function were assessed with Pearson’s correlations (r), as was the relationship between vision-related quality of life [VR-QOL; Visual Activities Questionnaire (VAQ) and the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ25)] and binocular tests or binocular approximations of visual function. Binocular visual function (VF and VA), and VR-QOL 575 subjects had at least one binocular visual function test. The Esterman score was significantly correlated with all binocular approximations of VF, with r-values ranging from 0.31 (worse eye mean deviation, MD) to 0.42 (better eye MD, all p<0.0001). Binocular VA showed stronger correlations with binocular approximations, with r-values ranging from 0.65 (worse eye VA) to 0.80 (binocular summation, all p<0.0001). Correlations between the VAQ and Esterman score were stronger in 7 of 9 subscales (r =−0.14 to −0.25, all p<0.05) than correlations with all 7 binocular approximations. In contrast, correlations between the VAQ and binocular VA (r=−0.07 to −0.21) were weaker in all subscales than those with better eye, average eye, and binocular summation of VA (r=−0.12 to −0.25), but not different from worse eye. These trends were also found in relevant subscales of the NEI-VFQ25. We found limited benefit in binocular testing of VA in the clinical setting as a means of approximating a patient’s reported visual functioning. In contrast, we found some benefit in performing binocular VF testing, as the results correlated more closely with reported functioning than binocular approximations.
