“…(3) that cryotherapy had much less effect on the visual field than would be thought from an examination of the fundus (5-10% loss) Dobson, 1996, CRYO-ROP, 2001); and (4) the finding that there was ongoing ocular morbidity (including late retinal detachment) (Quinn and Dobson, 1996) from ROP for years after apparently successful cryotherapy treatment (Palmer et al, 2005). Kremer and colleagues (Kremer et al, 1995) reported on 10 children who had Humphrey visual field examination 10 to 14 years after neonatal cryotherapy for ROP; field constriction was 10-20 degrees temporally and 10-30 degrees nasally. Affected children did not have any subjective field defects nor did they notice reduced night vision.…”

The population of infants at risk for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) varies by world region; in countries with well developed neonatal intensive care services, the highest risk infants are those born at less than 28 weeks gestational age (GA) and less than 1 kg at birth, while, in regions where many aspects of neonatal intensive and ophthalmological care are not routinely available, more mature infants up to 2000 g at birth and 37 weeks GA are also at risk for severe ROP. Treatment options for both groups of patients include standard retinal laser photocoagulation or, more recently, intravitreal anti-VEGF drugs. In addition to detection and treatment of ROP, this review highlights new opportunities created by telemedicine, where screening and diagnosis of ROP in remote locations can be undertaken by non-ophthalmologists using digital fundus cameras. The ophthalmological care of the ROP infant is undertaken in the wider context of neonatal care and general wellbeing of the infant. Because of this context, this review takes a multi-disciplinary perspective with contributions from retinal vascular biologists, pediatric ophthalmologists, an epidemiologist and a neonatologist. This review highlights the latest insights regarding cellular and molecular mechanisms in the formation of the retinal vasculature in the human infant, pathogenesis of ROP, detection and treatment of severe ROP, the risks and benefits of anti-VEGF therapy, the identification of new therapies over the horizon, and the optimal neonatal care regimen for best ROP outcomes, and the benefits and pitfalls of telemedicine in the remote screening and diagnosis of ROP, all of which have the potential to improve ROP outcomes.

“…The visual outcome of children born prematurely has been tested with Humphrey 120 full-field screening (Kremer et al 1995) and with high pass resolution perimetry (Larsson et al 2004). High pass resolution perimetry was also used in glaucomatous children with good success (Marraffa et al 1995), whereas FDT was found to have sensitivity of only 60% and specificity of 35% when used in 13 children with congenital glaucoma (L Martin, presented In this study, automated static perimetry was possible in many normal children and children with strabismus aged 5-14 years in a clinical setting using a commercially available Twinfield perimeter in a clinically practical length of time.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: Visual field testing in children is always a challenge as testing is hampered by fatigue effects, easy distraction and lack of comprehension. For that reason new testing strategies for automated perimetry have mainly been evaluated on adults. We tested the feasibility and outcome of automated static perimetry in children in a standard clinical setting. Methods: Twenty-eight children aged 5-14 years were examined at the Twinfield perimeter, including healthy children, children with unilateral pathologies (normal eye tested) and children with strabismus. Fast threshold strategy (FT) and continuous light increment perimetry (CLIP) strategy were used in a randomized order. One eye per subject was examined and each test was performed twice. Results: Reliable results were obtained in many children starting from the age of 8 years. In children aged 13 years and over, adult testing strategies were possible in most cases with good reproducibility. No significant difference was found between the children with strabismus and the other children. Mean sensitivity (MS) increased and fixation losses decreased as a function of age. Continuous light increment perimetry showed a lower number of abnormal fields and fewer false-positive errors compared to FT. Conclusion: Automated static perimetry is possible in many children in a clinical setting using a commercially available Twinfield perimeter in a session of clinically practical duration. Test performance was not only dependent on age, but also on the child's maturity and ability to concentrate. Especially in children up to the age of 8 years, testing with the ramp stimulus (CLIP) was easier than with a staircase strategy (FT).

“…Other strategies such as TOP-32, [12], or frequency doubling technology (FDT) [13], were used [11] to examine pediatric age groups. Children with ocular pathology were examined with automatic test strategies with the Humphrey 120 by Kremer [15] and Larsson [16]. Children with glaucoma were also examined with high-pass resolution perimetry [17].…”

In 49 out of 50 children (98%) automatic kinetic perimetry was possible in a clinical setting using a commercially available Twinfield perimeter in a session of clinically practical duration. A major advantage is constant test velocity, independent of the examiner. Test performance was not only dependent on age, but also on the child's maturity and ability to concentrate. Older children tended to detect the stimuli more peripherally. Older children got better results from the examiner evaluation parameters attention and central fixation.
