Comparison of Automated Kinetic and Static Visual Fields in Neuro-ophthalmology Patients

چکیده
Eighty-three patients with various neuro-ophthalmic diseases were submitted to a standard automated protocol including kinetic and static perimetry The kinetic protocol included one peripheral, one intermediate and one central isopter and a blind spot contour determination The static protocol included fast thresholding of 80 points within the pericentral field and a 4-2-2-2 foveolar threshold determination. Discrepancies between the results of the two protocols were found in 24 out of 83 patients. Part of these discrepancies were related to methodological problems: static stimuli provide a more quantitative evaluation of the paracentral scotoma, whereas the kinetic tests appear to be more sensitive for eccentricities exceeding 15 degrees. Statokinetic dissociations were found in 12 subjects with compressive and cortical lesions

Automated combined kinetic and static perimetry: an alternative to standard perimetry in patients with neuro-ophthalmic disease and glaucoma.
OBJECTIVES To create a fully automated, combined perimetry program consisting of a static examination and a kinetic examination, and to compare the results of this test with standard static and kinetic visual fields (VFs). METHODS Fifty-six patients (74 eyes) undergoing neuro-ophthalmic or glaucoma evaluation who had standard static or kinetic perimetry examinations underwent the combined per...

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.

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.

متن کاملReclaiming the Periphery: Automated Kinetic Perimetry for Measuring Peripheral Visual Fields in Patients With Glaucoma.
Purpose Peripheral vision is important for mobility, balance, and guidance of attention, but standard perimetry examines only <20% of the entire visual field. We report on the relation between central and peripheral visual field damage, and on retest variability, with a simple approach for automated kinetic perimetry (AKP) of the peripheral field. Methods Thirty patients with glaucoma (median...
متن کاملVisual fields in neuro-ophthalmology
Visual field assessment is important in the evaluation of lesions involving the visual pathways and should be performed at baseline and periodically in the follow-up. Standard automated perimetry has been shown to be adequate in neuro-ophthalmic practise and is now the technique of choice for a majority of practitioners. Goldman kinetic visual fields are useful for patients with severe visual a...
