In order to evaluate the association between the watershed zone and glaucomatous optic damage, we performed indocyanine green fluorescence angiography with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope in 54 eyes of 27 patients with normal tension glaucoma. The visual field indices were measured with a Humphrey Field Analyzer. We identified 8 eyes (14.8%) of 7 patients with a watershed zone not including the optic nerve head (type I), 32 eyes (59.3%) of 20 patients with the zone partially including the optic nerve head (type II), and 14 eyes (26.0%) of 10 patients with the zone including the optic nerve head (type III). Of the total of 27 patients, 10 patients (37.0%) had different types in each eye. In these patients, the mean deviation (MD) of visual field indices was worse in the eye with the watershed zone which included a larger part of the optic disc than in the contralateral eye (p < 0.05). Conversely, the eye with worse MD than the contralateral eye had a watershed zone which included a larger part of the optic disc than the other eye (p < 0.05). The location of watershed zone appeared to influence the progression of the visual field defect.
