purpose: to quantify the intraobserver reproducibility of retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) measurements using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation in glaucoma suspect patients. methods: twenty-six eyes of 26 glaucoma suspect patients were included. complete ophthalmologic examination and standard automated perimetry were performed for all of them. rnfl measurements were...

OBJECTIVE To assess the role and diagnostic effectiveness of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and short wave-automated perimetry (SWAP) to distinguish between normal, glaucoma suspects, and surely diagnosed glaucomatous eye. BACKGROUND Changes in the optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) often precede the appearance of visual field defect with standard automated perimetry. Unfortu...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether frequency-doubling perimetry (FDP) predicts future visual field loss with achromatic automated perimetry (AAP), just as it may be predicted with short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP). METHODS We recruited 62 patients selectively from an urban glaucoma practice. At the commencement of the study, each patient had ocular hypertension with normal visual fiel...

OBJECTIVE To derive and display the percentile score (1st-99th percentile) at each perimetric location of a standard automated perimetry test to determine whether this technique will uncover patterns of loss not visible in standard (StatPac) probability maps. METHODS We computed continuous scale probability plots of data collected from testing 305 visually healthy participants with standard a...

PURPOSE We compared the results of flicker-defined form (FDF) perimetry with standard automated perimetry (SAP) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS A total of 64 healthy subjects, 45 ocular hypertensive patients, and 97 "early" open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients participated in this study. Definition of ...
