Deep learning models are usually utilized to learn from spatial data, only a few studies are proposed to predict glaucoma time progression utilizing deep learning models. In this article, we present a bidirectional recurrent deep learning model (Bi-RM) to detect prospective progressive visual field diagnoses. A dataset of 5413 different eyes from 3321 samples is utilized as the learning phase dataset and 1272 eyes are used for testing. Five consecutive diagnoses are recorded from the dataset as input and the sixth progressive visual field diagnosis is matched with the prediction of the Bi-RM. The precision metrics of the Bi-RM are validated in association with the linear regression algorithm (LR) and term memory (TM) technique. The total prediction error of the Bi-RM is significantly less than those of LR and TM. In the class prediction, Bi-RM depicts the least prediction error in all three methods in most of the testing cases. In addition, Bi-RM is not impacted by the reliability keys and the glaucoma degree.
