Selective perimetry in glaucoma diagnosis

Abstract: The lack of a perfect gold-standard diagnostic test for glaucoma limits the interpretation of results from cross-sectional studies evaluating visual field tests. Nevertheless, evidence suggests that visual dysfunction in eyes with early glaucoma varies significantly between individuals and no single technique is superior to the others in all patients. A multimodal functional assessment may be more effective in detecting/quantifying visual impairment associated with early glaucoma.

“…SAP employs differential light stimulus, which is nonspecific for ganglion cell type, whereas FDT perimetry measures contrast sensitivity and targets magnocellular cells. 8,12,24 In conclusion, Humphrey Matrix is a quicker test than SAP-SITA. Visual field indices and the number of depressed points on PDP of the two perimetries are only moderately correlated.…”

“…SAP is still considered the gold standard in glaucomatous visual field assessment; however, longstanding experience with SAP has uncovered many limitations, some of which are related to the testing method, while others relate to the subjective, patientdependent nature of the testing process [20,21]. Certain improvements in SAP, such as short- IOP intraocular pressure, C/D cup to disc ratio, BCVA best corrected visual acuity wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), have demonstrated a significant advantage as far as its ability to detect field defects earlier than SAP, but fall short as far as follow-up [22].…”
