According to Hodapp’s criteria for visual field (VF) scoring, advanced glaucoma can be defined as having a VF mean deviation index (MD) < ‐12 dB. Advanced glaucoma can also be defined on the basis of the patient’s skills to perform daily activities. Functional tests are usually more useful than structural parameters to follow‐up patients with advanced glaucoma. An overview of the available investigative techniques in advanced glaucoma will be provided.
