A member asked:
What is the progression for vision loss with glaucoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peripheral vision: Typically glaucoma patients lose peripheral vision first and then if the glaucoma progresses central vision can be lost. Rarely some central loss can occur early on in the disease process.
