چکیده

PURPOSE To examine the effect of myopia, occasionally associated with glaucomatous eyes, on the results obtained by frequency-doubling perimetry (FDP). METHODS Sixty emmetropic or myopic normal volunteers (mean age, 26.2 +/- 0.35 years, mean +/- SEM; range, 19-34) with good visual acuity and without glaucoma were divided into three groups. The groups were emmetropia to low-myopia (mean refractive error, -1.16 +/- 0.23 D), intermediate-myopia (-4.95 +/- 0.17 D), and high-myopia (-8.12 +/- 0.36 D; n = 20 each). All subjects were tested on the FDP full-threshold C-20 program and the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA; Humphrey, Dublin, CA) full-threshold program on one randomly selected eye. FDP and the HFA test were conducted with the subjects wearing their full distance correction and with their distance correction with appropriate additional correction for near, respectively. The calculated mean sensitivity (MS), mean deviation (MD), pattern standard deviation (PSD), and test durations for FDP and the HFA test for the three groups were compared using one-way analysis of variance. The relationship between the refractive error and MS, MD, or PSD was also analyzed by simple regression analysis. RESULTS The MS and MD for the fields determined by the HFA decreased significantly as the refractive errors increased, but there were no significant differences in the MS, MD, and PSD for FDP between the three groups. There were no significant differences in the test durations between the three groups for both FDP and HFA testing. The refractive error was correlated with both MS and MD only for the fields determined by the HFA. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that lens-corrected myopia does not alter the visual fields obtained by FDP, and FDP can therefore be used regardless of the presence of myopia.

A Comparison of the Effects of Neutral Density Filters and Diffusing Filters on Motion Detection Perimetry, White-on-white Perimetry and Frequency Doubling Perimetry

Background: Motion detection perimetry and frequency doubling perimetry are methods that have been developed with the goal of detecting glaucomatous field defects earlier than conventional white-on-white perimetry. It is well recognized that the development of cataract and pupillary constriction can significantly influence perimetric thresholds when screening for, or following the progression o...

Frequency-doubling technology perimetry and optical defocus.

PURPOSE The frequency-doubling technology (FDT) perimeter has no provision for introducing corrective lenses, save for the patient's spectacles, and so patients are sometimes tested in the presence of moderate levels of defocus. The effect of defocus on frequency-doubling (FD) sensitivity was determined for both the commercially available instrument and for smaller targets that may be useful in...
