OBJECTIVE To compare manual kinetic perimetry with tangent screen and Goldmann techniques and automated static perimetry with the Humphrey Field Analyzer in the detection and localization of occipital lobe lesions. DESIGN Prospective consecutive comparative case series. PARTICIPANTS Twelve patients with well-defined occipital lobe infarcts on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were studied. ...

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...

PURPOSE To investigate the correlation between retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual field (VF) parameters in patients with optic atrophy. METHODS This study was performed on 35 eyes of 28 patients with optic atrophy. RNFL thickness was measured by OCT (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) and automated perimetry was performed using the H...

PURPOSE To determine the correlations between optic nerve head (ONH) parameters measured with the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT), and the main outcomes of standard automated perimetry (SAP) in normal, ocular hypertensive, glaucoma suspects and glaucomatous subjects. METHODS Four hundred and twenty-three patients were enrolled in the study and classified into four groups depending on baseli...

PURPOSE To determine the relationship between the structural parameters of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) obtained by using the scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation (GDx VCC) and the results of standard automated perimetry (SAP), in normal, ocular hypertensive, preperimetric glaucomas and glaucoma subjects. METHODS A total of 423 eyes of 423 consecutive subjects...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare correlations between structural and functional loss in glaucoma as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), scanning laser polarimetry (GDx VCC, as this was the model used in this study), standard automated perimetry (SAP), and the Humphrey Matrix (Matrix). METHODS Ninety glaucomatous eyes identified with SAP and 112 eyes diagnosed using Matrix were inde...

INTRODUCTION The gold standard in functional glaucoma evaluation is standard automated perimetry (SAP). However, SAP depends on the reliability of the patients' responses and other external factors; therefore, other technologies have been developed for earlier detection of visual field changes in glaucoma patients. The frequency-doubling perimetry (FDT) is believed to detect glaucoma earlier th...
