PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of automated perimetry of elderly subjects naïve to AP after listening to a Mozart sonata. INTRODUCTION Automated perimetry (AP) is a psychophysical test used to assess visual fields in patients with neurological disorders and glaucoma. In a previous study, Fiorelli et al. showed that young subjects who listened to a Mozart sonata prior to undergoing AP per...

PURPOSE Studies in glaucoma patients show that standard automated perimetry results increase in variability as sensitivity decreases. However, the reasons for this change are unclear. This study presents the principle of Divergent Dysfunction as a possible explanation for this change in variability, and incorporates it into a model that can be used to simulate perimetry. METHODS A computer pr...

Purpose To validate a new automated perimetry pattern (mf103 pattern) for the investigation of retinal structure-function relationships in glaucoma in comparison to the standard G2 pattern and to relate either field's performance to optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods Automated perimetry data from the mfERG103 pattern were compared with the standard G2 pattern in glaucoma patients (18...

OBJECTIVE To examine short-wavelength sensitivity in patients with migraine using short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) and Stiles 2-color increment threshold procedures. METHODS Twenty-five subjects with migraine with (n = 11) and without (n = 14) aura and 20 age-matched headache-free subjects underwent testing. All subjects underwent standard automated perimetry (SAP) and SWAP (using ...

PURPOSE To compare the detectability between glaucomatous visual field changes using standard automated perimetry (SAP), frequency doubling technology (FDT), short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), and flicker perimetry and structural changes using optical coherence tomography (OCT). PARTICIPANTS Fifty-nine eyes of fifty-nine patients with open-angle glaucoma, 24 eyes of 24 glaucoma susp...

Staging glaucomatous damage into appropriatecategories enhances management of the disease. Automated static perimetry is the benchmark for testing visual function in glaucoma. Numerous examples of standard automated perimetry staging systems have been proposed but difficulties such as lack of accuracy, absence of information related to location and depth of the defect(s) and need of time-consum...

PURPOSE To present and evaluate a new method of estimating rates of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss in glaucoma by combining structural and functional measurements. DESIGN Observational cohort study. METHODS The study included 213 eyes of 213 glaucoma patients followed up for an average of 4.5 ± 0.8 years with standard automated perimetry visual fields and optical coherence tomography. A c...
