AB  - PURPOSE: To determine the correlation between the structural changes in the 
      Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) and functional losses detected with 
      ShortWavelength Automated Perimetry (SWAP) in a population of patients with 
      suspected glaucoma. METHODS: 49 eyes of 49 ocular hypertensive subjects who met 
      the selection criteria (intraocular pressure greater than 21 mm of Hg and normal 
      standard visual fields) were studied. SWAP was performed with a modified Humphrey 
      Field Analyzer. Visual field indexes (MD, CPSD) were calculated for SWAP. 
      Semiquantitative RNFL scores were given separately to diffuse and localized 
      defects of the RNFL. RESULTS: The MD increased significantly (p<0.001) with 
      higher Diffuse and Total RNFL scores, with good correlation coefficients. A small 
      correlation was found between the CPSD and the RNFR scores (Diffuse, Total and 
      Localized RNFL scores). CONCLUSIONS: Diffuse retinal nerve fiber layer losses are 
      associated with diffuse field loss (MD) while focal structural damage showed no 
      correlation with visual field losses.
