Findings from this cohort study suggest that recurrent visual field progression after a first GPA progression event is common; eyes at highest risk had faster pre-event visual field loss, less advanced damage at first progression, higher postevent IOP, and older age. These results may help target intensified monitoring and IOP lowering toward higher-risk eyes.
