Static perimetry, made using Humphrey and Octopus expert class perimeters, is called the standard automated perimetry (SAP); and for more than 30 years, it is the “gold standard” in assessing the visual field in glaucoma diagnosis. Currently, many computer perimeters appeared on the Russian market. The article reviews modern methods of computerized perimetry which are most widespread in our country and presents their comparative characteristics. (For citation: Serdyukova SA, Simakova IL. Computer perimetry in the diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma. Ophthalmology Journal. 2018;11(1):54-65. doi: 10.17816/OV11154-65).
The article presents an interesting and fairly rare clinical case of congenital posterior segment anomaly of both eyes manifesting itself by coloboma of the optic nerve head in the right eye and choroidal coloboma in the left eye. For the first time, this pathology was diagnosed in our female patient at the age of 48. (For citation: Simakova IL, Kirillov YuA, Sosnovskiy SV, et al. Combination of congenital optic never coloboma in one eye and congenital choroidal coloboma in the fellow eye. Ophthalmology Journal. 2017;10(3):85-90. doi: 10.17816/OV10385-90).
Modern computer perimetry is divided into traditional white stimulus-on-white background, the gold standard of which is perimetry performed by using expert class perimeters Humphrey and Octopus and therefore called standard automatic or automated perimetry (SAP), and non-traditional or non-standard perimetry, which differs, first of all, in a different nature of a stimulus. The article is a review devoted to the assessment of the diagnostic capabilities of non-standard computer perimetry in the form of different variants of perimetry with doubling the spatial frequency (Frequency Doubling Technology Perimetry or FDT perimetry), which is performed by using perimeters of the 1st (Carl Zeiss Humphrey 710 Visual Field / FDT, 1997) and the 2nd (Carl Zeiss Humphrey Matrix / HM 715, 800 Visual Field Analyzer, 2005, 2010) generation. Most authors consider that FDT perimetry is effective in a glaucoma screening and, possibly, in monitoring a glaucomatous process, but only a few authors consider that non-standard perimetry method can be useful in diagnosing optic neuropathies of a different nature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
