Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence: Centrally Mediated Preservation of Binocular Visual Field in Glaucoma is Unlikely

Description

Yes / We have read with interest the recent article by Sponsel et al.1 There is much evidence that glaucomatous damage occurs at the optic nerve head,2 and therefore we were surprised by the authors' conjecture that there may be a central mechanism that preserves the binocular visual field in advanced glaucoma.
