Abstract

A number of investigations have reported reductions in visual field sensitivity as a function of increasing age in normal observers (Brenton and Phelps, 1986; Haas, Flammer and Schneider, 1986; Jaffe, Alvarado and Juster, 1986; Johnson, Post and Keltner, 1983). Although some studies have found slightly greater deficits for certain portions of the visual field, the major findings indicate a diffuse reduction in sensitivity for the entire visual field.
