Jeang LJ; Chang PT; Frankfort BJJournal of Glaucoma 2015; 24: e139-e141
A 63 year old woman with surgically controlled primary open-angle glaucoma developed sudden visual field deterioration and subjective visual loss despite stable intraocular pressure in both eyes. An extensive systemic workup was performed which revealed a diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.
