In 86 patients suffering from advanced glaucomatous field defects visual functions were evaluated up to 12 years postoperatively. There was a 50% deterioration in visual acuity in 29 eyes (34%). This was mainly caused by new cataract formation. Visual fields were examined on the Tübingen perimeter. In 12 out of 80 eyes there was suspected deterioration and in another 28 eyes (35%) confirmed deterioration. In no case did surgery cause the preoperative field to disintegrate. The deterioration, which usually accelerates slowly, is a consequence of general vascular diseases such as diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis or hypertonia.
对86例患有晚期青光眼性视野缺损的患者进行了术后长达12年的视觉功能评估。29只眼（34%）的视力下降了50%。这主要是由新的白内障形成所致。使用图宾根视野计检查视野。80只眼中有12只疑似视野恶化，另有28只眼（35%）确诊视野恶化。手术从未导致术前视野破坏。视野恶化通常进展缓慢，是糖尿病、动脉硬化或高血压等全身性血管疾病的结果。
