TLDR
The increased frequencies of false-negative answers in eyes with field loss were strongly associated with field status and may be explained by the increased variability in threshold values typically found in such eyes.

A visual field index for calculation of glaucoma rate of progression

TL;DR: Glaucoma progression rates calculated using the GPI seem to be considerably less affected byCataract and cataract surgery than rates based on the traditional MDI.

Inner retinal layer thinning in Parkinson disease.

TL;DR: The inner retinal layer is significantly thinner in PD patients than in healthy subjects, and Idiopathic PD, distinct from glaucoma, needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis of retinal nerve fiber layer thinning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visual field defects and neural losses from experimental glaucoma

TL;DR: The principal results showed that the depth of visual defects with standard clinical perimetry are predicted by a loss of probability summation among retinal detection mechanisms, and objective electrophysiological methods can be as sensitive as standard clinicalPerimetry in assessing the neural losses from glaucoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retinal oximetry in primary open-angle glaucoma.

TL;DR: Deeper glaucomatous visual field defects are associated with increased oxygen saturation in venules and decreased arteriovenous difference in retinal oxygen saturation, suggesting that oxygen metabolism is affected in the glau comatous retina, possibly related to tissue atrophy.

Automated Static Perimetry

TL;DR: This publication deals with automated perimetry and emphasis is on technical aspects of administering the automated test with skill; as well as on interpretation of the result based on an understanding of the text.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new generation of algorithms for computerized threshold perimetry, SITA

TL;DR: New methods which take available knowledge of visual field physiology and pathophysiology into account are applied, and modern computer-intensive mathematical methods for real time estimates of threshold values and threshold error estimates are applied.

Differential light threshold. Short- and long-term fluctuation in patients with glaucoma, normal controls, and patients with suspected glaucoma

TL;DR: It is shown that in patients with glaucoma, the components of the short- and long-term fluctuation are substantially greater than in patients without the disease.

Glaucoma Hemifield Test. Automated visual field evaluation

TL;DR: An algorithm for automated evaluation of single static threshold visual field test results in glaucoma, which uses empirically determined limits of normality for up-down differences in the Statpac probability maps of the Humphrey Field Analyzer to detect localized visual field loss.
