Perimetric Threshold Variability and Age

Large-Scale Survey of Unselected Automated Visual Fields in a Major Reading Center: Patterns and Data Analysis

“…The progressive increase of the MD with age has also been described in the literature [5]. Other results were less obvious.…”

“…The finding that glaucoma was the main reason for the test (70%) was expected. The progressive increase of the MD with age has also been described in the literature [ 5 ]. Other results were less obvious.…”

“…Our purpose was to extract useful clinical information that could be applied to daily practice. All other studies were either limited to small groups without pathology [ 5 ] or selected study groups with exclusion of unreliable fields [ 1 – 7 ].…”

Age-Related Losses of Retinal Ganglion Cells and Axons

“…1,2 A methodical loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is part of the normal aging process, which causes reduced visual sensitivity across the visual field in standard automated perimetry (SAP) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and a thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in optical coherence tomography (OCT). 10 -17 In clinical practice, it is important to differentiate between the functional and structural changes that arise from normal nonpathologic losses versus pathologic losses, and clinical instruments for SAP 4,8 and RNFL 16,18 measurements therefore incorporate age-dependent normative data for the statistical evaluation of a patient's data.…”

Impact of Age and Myopia on the Rate of Visual Field Progression in Glaucoma Patients

“…Loss of retinal ganglion cells is part of the normal aging process, which causes reduced visual sensitivity across the VF and thinning of the RNFL. 27 , 28 The MD is an adjusted value according to age, because it compares the sensitivity of the VF of patients in similar age-matched groups at each location of the VF. However, changes in MD values have been consistently reported to be associated with older age.…”
