Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 150 eyes from 75 treatment-na\u00efve patients with mNTG. All subjects were followed for at least five years with at least six reliable VF examinations. Key structural features, including the lamina cribrosa steepness index (LCSI) via enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT) and choroidal microvascular dropout (cMvD) via OCT angiography (OCTA), were evaluated. VF progression was determined by event-based glaucoma progression analysis (GPA). To construct the predictive nomogram, clustered logistic regression with forward selection and 1000 bootstrap iterations was used to identify independent predictors. Results: Of the 150 eyes, 58 (38.7%) exhibited VF progression. Multivariable analysis identified steeper LCSI and the presence of parapapillary cMvD at baseline as significant independent predictors of progression. The resulting nomogram demonstrated excellent predictive accuracy, with an AUC of 0.922 and a C-index of approximately 0.92, indicating strong discriminative ability. Conclusions: This nomogram, incorporating structural (LCSI) and vascular (cMvD) markers, may offer a useful individualized tool for predicting VF progression in mNTG. This tool could assist in the early identification of high-risk patients and supports personalized treatment planning to optimize long-term visual outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15072709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,6]],"date-time":"2026-04-06T02:06:21Z","timestamp":1775441181000},"page":"2709","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Prediction of Visual Field Progression in Myopic Normal Tension Glaucoma Using a Nomogram-Based Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Ji Eun","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Kangwon National University Hospital, Kangwon National University College of Medicine, Chuncheon 24289, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9393-9452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eun Ji","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seongnam 13620, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tae-Woo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seongnam 13620, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"653","DOI":"10.1136\/bjophthalmol-2019-315441","article-title":"Impact of myopia on the association of long-term intraocular pressure fluctuation with the rate of progression in normal-tension glaucoma","volume":"105","author":"Lee","year":"2021","journal-title":"Br.
