AB A  50-year-old  black  man  was  noted  to  have  a  large  cup-to-disc  ratio  during  a  funduscopic  examination  by  his  primary  care  provider  (Figure  20-1).  The  patient  reported  no  visual  complaints.  Further  evaluation  revealed  elevated  intraocular  pressure  and  early  visual  field  defects.  He  was  started  on  medication  to  lower  his  intraocular  pressure.  He  remained  asymptomatic,  and  his  visual  field  defects  did  not  progress  for  the  next  several  years.
