PURPOSE To compare the Swedish interactive thresholding algorithm (SITA) with the full-threshold (FT) strategy for short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP). METHODS One eye of 286 patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) and 289 age-matched participants without GON from the Diagnostic Innovations in Glaucoma Study (DIGS) and the African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study (ADAGE...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate visual function and optic disc features in patients with large cup-disc ratios (C/Ds). METHODS One eye of 86 patients with vertical C/Ds by contour of at least 0.8, who had undergone both standard achromatic automated perimetry (SAP) and short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) testing, was selected retrospectively. Two masked glaucoma specialists independently graded...

OBJECTIVE To compare examination time and visual field loss for ptosis fields obtained with manual kinetic (Goldmann) perimetry and automated static (Humphrey) perimetry. METHODS Both eyes of 12 patients with bilateral aponeurogenic ptosis were prospectively examined using Goldmann and Humphrey (ptosis protocol) perimetry with the eyelids ptotic and taped into a normal position. RESULTS Bil...

PURPOSE Standard automated perimetry (SAP) shows a marked increase in variability in damaged areas of the visual field. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that larger stimuli are associated with more uniform variability, by investigating the retest variability of four perimetry tests: standard automated perimetry size III (SAP III), with the SITA standard strategy; SAP size V (SAP ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the potential role of Swedish Interactive Thresholding Algorithm (SITA) Fast computerized static perimetry, compared with that of Goldmann manual kinetic perimetry (GVF), for reliably detecting visual field defects in neuro-ophthalmic practice. BACKGROUND Automated visual field testing is challenging in patients with poor visual acuity or severe neurological disease. In th...
