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...

The authors studied the relationship between the critical fusion frequency (CFF) and the threshold value of differential light sensitivity in glaucoma and retinal detachment patients. One hundred and fifty eyes of 82 glaucoma patients and 27 eyes of 27 retinal detachment patients were examined by both light-sense perimetry, using the Octopus 201, and flicker perimetry, using the Octopus 1-2-3. ...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of cataract surgery and yellow-tinted intraocular lens (IOLs) implantation on perimetry indices of short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) and standard automated perimetry (SAP) testing in patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective comparative case series, phacoemulsification with implantation of yellow-tinte...

Computerized perimetry analysis of the visual field enables the capacity of the visual cortex to process the electric impulse received from the eyeball to be detected. Considering that hypercholesterolemia can cause cognitive worsening by altering the functioning of the cerebral cortex, we attempted to determine whether it can affect the cortical processing of the visual stimuli, as detected by...

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the sensitivity and the specificity of perimetry combined with volumetry in the treatment of lymphedema. Ninety women, who had been submitted to breast cancer surgery, were randomly selected in the Government Healthcare Clinic for this study. Only patients who underwent surgical treatment of breast cancer with some degree of lymphadenectomy wer...

PURPOSE We determined the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for Peristat online perimetry at detecting varying degrees of glaucoma and the correlation between Peristat online perimetry and Humphrey visual field. METHODS A prospective, comparative study of Peristat online perimetry (an achromatic static computer threshold testing program) and Humphrey visual field (HVF) 24-2 SITA ...

AIM This study was designed to test the ability of a portable computer driven, head mounted visual field testing system to perform automated perimetry on patients at their bedside and to compare these results with the "gold standard" for bedside examinations, confrontation visual fields. METHODS The Kasha visual field system is a portable automated perimeter which utilises a virtual reality h...
