Objective: Conventional visual field (VF) tests are limited in predicting on-road driving performance of individuals with glaucoma. We developed a new performance-based VF test in a driving simulator for individuals with glaucoma. The aim was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the newly ...
Visual field testing checks how well you can see in all areas of your vision, including your side (peripheral) and central vision. It's used to find and monitor vision problems, especially those that might not show up in a regular eye exam.
Visual field testing (VFT) in children is critical for monitoring disease processes from glaucoma to neuro-ophthalmic conditions, and testing paradigms that are specifically tailored for pediatric patients need to be developed to increase the feasibility
Number of ganglion cells in glaucoma eyes compared with threshold visual field tests in the same persons PURPOSE: To compare the number of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) topographically mapped with specific visual field threshold test data in the same eyes amon... ME Pease,K Baumrind-La,RS Mitc...
What is a visual field test used for? Visual field testing is most frequently used to detect signs of glaucoma damage to the optic nerve. In addition, visual field tests are useful for detection of central or peripheral retinal diseases of the retina, eyelid conditions such as drooping (ptosis...
In patients with glaucoma, frequent visual field testing may be associated with earlier detection of the condition's progression, according to a report published Online First by Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Visual field tests can help your doctors get a better understanding of your vision. Why Would You Need A Visual Field Test? You may need a visual field test to help your doctor monitor or see signs of certain diseases likeglaucoma. In the earlier stages of glaucoma, you may loseperipheral...
Nearly 40% of children with glaucoma do not undergo yearly visual field testing While most children with glaucoma have at least one visual field test per year, Black and multiracial children were among those with significantly lower testing frequency, according to a single-center study published in...
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible but preventable blindness worldwide, and visual field testing is an important tool for its diagnosis and monitoring. Testing using standard visual field thresholding procedures is time-consuming, and prolonged test duration leads to patient fatigue and decrea...
The 24-2 visual field test was comparably worse than other tests in consideration to glaucoma patients' central vision. Donald C. Hood, PhD The most common visual field test used to assess severity of glaucoma—the 24-2 visual field (VF) test—may be underestimating the severity of ...
