Impact of Glaucomatous Ganglion Cell Damage on Central Visual Function

Abstract

Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, is characterized by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and subsequent visual field defects. RGCs, as the final output neurons of the retina, perform key computations underpinning human pattern vision, such as contrast coding. Conventionally, glaucoma has been associated with peripheral vision loss, and thus, relatively little attention has been paid to deficits in central vision. However, recent advancements in retinal imaging techniques have significantly bolstered research into glaucomatous damage of the macula, revealing that it is prevalent even in the early stages of glaucoma. Thus, it is an opportune time to explore how glaucomatous damage undermines the perceptual processes associated with central visual function. This review showcases recent studies addressing central dysfunction in the early and moderate stages of glaucoma. It further emphasizes the need to characterize glaucomatous damage in both central and peripheral vision, as they jointly affect an individual's everyday activities.
