PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic results of four perimetric tests and to identify useful parameters from each for determining abnormality. METHODS One hundred eleven eyes with glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), 31 with progressive optic neuropathy (PGON) 53 with ocular hypertension, and 51 with no disease were included (N = 246). Visual field results were not used to classify the eyes. Sho...

OBJECTIVES To compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and retinal sensitivity in the normal visual hemifield of glaucomatous eyes with localized visual field loss with those of normal eyes and eyes with suspected glaucoma, and to evaluate the relationship between RNFL atrophy and glaucoma severity. METHODS One randomly selected eye of each subject underwent standard automated p...

OBJECTIVE To compare retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements performed with Stratus OCT 3000 in normal, ocular hypertensive, pre-perimetric and glaucomatous eyes. METHODS 98 normal subjects, 156 ocular hypertensives with short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), 21 ocular hypertensives with altered SWAP (pre-perimetric glaucoma) and 66 glaucomatous eyes were included in the study. Di...

OBJECTIVE To compare manual kinetic perimetry with tangent screen and Goldmann techniques and automated static perimetry with the Humphrey Field Analyzer in the detection and localization of occipital lobe lesions. DESIGN Prospective consecutive comparative case series. PARTICIPANTS Twelve patients with well-defined occipital lobe infarcts on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were studied. ...

Aim. To compare semikinetic perimetry (SKP) on Octopus 900 perimetry to a peripheral static programme with Humphrey automated perimetry. Methods. Prospective cross-section study comparing Humphrey full field (FF) 120 two zone programme to a screening protocol for SKP on Octopus perimetry. Results were independently graded for presence/absence of field defect plus type and location of defect. Re...
