Glaucoma patients show higher k values, indicating a need for adjusted stimulus luminance and area in visual field testing. This study demonstrates a feasible method for examining advanced glaucoma with a larger dynamic range.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Visual Science

Background:

  • Stimulus luminance (L) and area (A) are related by L x A(k)=constant.
  • Evaluating the k value in glaucoma patients is crucial for understanding visual field changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the k value at 66 central visual field positions in glaucoma patients.
  • To modify luminance and area simultaneously for examining advanced glaucoma with a larger dynamic range.

Main Methods:

  • Compensated for luminance limitations by increasing stimulus area based on pre-calculated k values.
  • Examined glaucoma patients using the Octopus 311 and an experimental Pulsar-SAP method with adjustable stimulus sizes.
  • Verified final k estimations in 60 new cases.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • k values increased progressively with glaucoma defect depth, exceeding those of normal subjects.
  • High correlations were found between k values and standard indices: MD (r=0.94) and sLV (r=0.93).
  • The Pulsar-SAP method showed minimal average threshold differences compared to standard methods.

Conclusions:

  • Glaucoma patients exhibit higher k values than normal subjects, despite similar topographic features.
  • A combined scale of stimulus luminance and size is feasible for visual field examination using low-brightness screens.
