Objective: To evaluate structural and visual field (VF) changes after ≥1 year of a single acute primary angle closure (APAC) attack using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) standard automated perimetry (SAP). Methods: Patients with unilateral APAC crisis at least 1 ago were included consecutively from 2013 to 2016. Contralateral eye was used as control. All patients underwent...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of intraocular straylight (IOS) on threshold measurements made by four types of perimetry: standard automated perimetry (SAP), frequency-doubling technology (FDT) perimetry, flicker-defined form (FDF) perimetry, and the Moorfields Motion Displacement Test (MDT). METHODS Six healthy young (21-29 years) psychophysically experienced observers were tested five ti...

Is anything new in functional testing? There have been many attempts to refine psychophysical and electrophysiological techniques over the last 20 years to enable earlier detection and/or possibly provide an objective means for monitoring function. While a few techniques survive in clinical practice, there has generally not been any major breakthroughs in recent times in the functional testing ...

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...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP, i.e., blue-yellow) in normal volunteers and to review the current normal values provided by the manufacturer. METHODS 28 eyes of 28 normal subjects (age range 21-48 years, mean age 36.5 years) had SWAP (Octopus 101, two phases of program G2, Interzeag AG, Schlieren, Switzerland). All subjects had ...
