Abstract:
The authors describe a case with optic nerve head drusen and normal intraocular pressure that was followed up for 25 years. The patient had kinetic perimetry annually until 1997 and static automated perimetry thereafter. From 2002 on, optical coherence tomography scans were also performed but did not permit accurate nerve fiber layer thickness measurement due to peripapillary extension of the optic nerve head drusen. Comparison of visual fields over 25 years reveal a gradual deterioration and demonstrate the value of this diagnostic tool in the study of the disease, especially in cases where nerve fiber layer loss cannot be precisely assessed by optical coherence tomography.
