The Longitudinal Danish High Myopia Study, Cohort 1948: at age 66 years visual ability is only occasionally affected by visual field defects.

(i) Serial large object Goldmann isopters over the 'senior' decade up to age 66 demonstrated a slight general peripheral narrowing by age of visual fields in high myopia. (ii) Overall 42% of the participants had absolute or relative defects (in 5 and 8, respectively), however, without socio-visual consequences when binocular. (iii) Visual field loss by age still appears a minor issue in clinically unselected high myopia.
