Summary

Oculokinetic perimetry (OKP) shows potential for glaucoma screening, particularly in detecting defects at 8-16 degrees eccentricity. Modifications to the OKP chart may improve its effectiveness in identifying glaucomatous visual field defects.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Oculokinetic perimetry (OKP) is explored as a glaucoma screening tool.
  • Previous studies indicated lower sensitivity and specificity of OKP for mild visual field defects.
  • This study focuses on visual fields with diagnosed glaucomatous defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of Oculokinetic Perimetry (OKP) in detecting glaucomatous visual field defects.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of OKP across different zones and points within the visual field.
  • To identify potential modifications to the OKP testing device to enhance its diagnostic capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Ninety-six glaucomatous visual fields from 57 subjects were assessed.
  • Visual fields were divided into zones and points to record defect frequency and sensitivity.

  • Sensitivity and specificity of OKP for detecting defects in various visual field areas were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • An OKP chart covering 8-16 degrees eccentricity and an extended nasal region effectively covered all defects in the study.
    • The 12-16 degree eccentricity zone demonstrated the highest sensitivity (75%) and specificity (65%).
    • False-negative results were often associated with mild to moderate defects (10-18 dB), suggesting potential for improvement by adjusting stimulus size, though this may increase false positives.

    Conclusions:

    • Modifications to the Oculokinetic Perimetry (OKP) testing device and chart design are proposed to optimize its performance.
    • An improved OKP chart design, with specific point distributions in eccentric zones and a central target, may enhance glaucoma detection.
    • Further analysis and refinement of the OKP chart could enable it to reach its full potential as a glaucoma screening tool.
