BACKGROUND Automated perimetry is of fundamental importance in assessing visual function in glaucoma. A technique was evaluated to perform high spatial resolution automated perimetry to allow a more detailed assessment of the luminance sensitivity in selected regions of the visual field than is possible with conventional perimetry. METHOD High spatial resolution perimetry was performed using ...

purpose : to evaluate the efficacy of pattern visual evoked potentials (pvep), standard automated perimetry (sap), short-wavelength automated perimetry (swap), contrast sensitivity (cs), stereoacuity testing in detecting subclinical visual impairment in visually asymptomatic patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) and no history of optic neuritis methods : twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients (7 male...

OBJECTIVE To compare progression in short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) and white-on-white (standard) perimetry in eyes with progressive glaucomatous changes of the optic disc detected by serial stereophotographs. METHODS Forty-seven glaucoma patients with at least 2 disc stereophotographs more than 2 years apart, along with standard perimetry and SWAP examinations within 6 months of ...

PURPOSE To compare the performance of standard automated perimetry (SAP), frequency-doubling technology (FDT) perimetry, and short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) in detecting glaucoma. METHODS One hundred thirty-two eyes of 95 glaucoma patients and 37 normal subjects had retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) imaging and visual field testing by SAP, Matrix FDT perimetry, and Swedish interact...

DOS Times Vol. 11, No. 6 December, 2005 The goal of perimetry is to establish an accurate estimate of visual field sensitivity. Perimetry is performed to detect early visual field defects, determine specific patterns of visual field loss for differential diagnosis and monitor for evidence of progression of field loss. Conventionally Standard Achromatic Perimetry (SAP) has been used to achieve t...

Sparing or partial recovery of visual fields in hemianopic patients is frequently difficult to document. This is because when testing large field losses, the standard automated or manual visual field testing systems have limited fixation controls. Measured visual field recovery in these cases may not be real but instead may be due to an artifact such as scanning eye movement. This article illus...

AIM To determine the number of missed points on frequency doubling technology (FDT) perimetry that optimise the sensitivity and specificity of the test and to determine the topographical accuracy of the test in a clinical setting. METHODS In a prospective study, the perimetric data from 99 patients who underwent both FDT perimetry in the screening mode and Humphrey 24-2 (H24-2) were used to d...

PURPOSE To examine the relationship between loss in peripheral visual sensitivity and neuropsychological functioning in seropositive patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) without infectious retinopathy. METHODS Subjects carefully screened for retinal disease and well-matched across demographic and medical variables were grouped according to normal (perimetry-nl) versus abnormal (pe...

PURPOSE To study the ability of Heidelberg Retina Tomography III (HRT 3) measurements to predict perimetry changes in patients with early glaucoma or suspected primary open-angle glaucoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and thirty two eyes with early glaucoma or suspected glaucoma with no changes in basal perimetry were prospectively selected and periodically evaluated over five years. The ...

OBJECTIVE To assess frequency-doubling technology (FDT) perimetry (Humphrey Systems, San Leandro, Calif) and Damato campimetry (Precision Vision, Villa Park, Ill) for detecting glaucoma in a public glaucoma screening. METHODS A 2-day public glaucoma screening was held at 2 different institutions. Each subject underwent 2 visual field screening tests (Damato campimetry and FDT perimetry in scr...
