Typically loss of eyesight occurs in the periphery first where the loss is less noticeable. Scotomas (visual field loss areas) in glaucoma tend to follow certain patterns that start in the mid-periphery. Many patients don’t notice visual symptoms until the disease is far progressed. Generally, the central vision is spared until very late stages of glaucoma
