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.
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 Journal of Glaucoma.
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 visionwithout realizing it, and a visual field test can help you manage your conditi...
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...
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 ...
Although deep learning architecture has been used to process sequential data, only a few studies have explored the usefulness of deep learning algorithms to detect glaucoma progression. Here, we proposed a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) algorithm to predict visual field loss. In total,...

A visual field test (perimetry) is a functional analysis that measures whether any deficiencies or restrictions exist in the visual field. The visual field is the area that is perceived optically while a person stares straight ahead at a fixed point.
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.
