    Summary

    Early glaucoma detection may be indicated by increased scatter in visual field tests, even with normal sensitivity. Advanced damage shows a

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Visual Sciences
    • Medical Technology

    Background:

    • Glaucoma diagnosis relies on visual field testing, but early signs can be subtle.
    • Understanding visual field changes is crucial for monitoring glaucoma progression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze visual field patterns in glaucoma patients using advanced perimetry.
    • To identify early perimetric signs of glaucoma and characterize disease progression.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of visual fields from 20 glaucoma patients using the Octopus automatic perimeter.
    • Utilized 229 F2 programs with detailed light sensitivity threshold measurements.
    • Investigated correlations between sensitivity loss and short-term fluctuations.

    Main Results:

    • A positive correlation exists between mean sensitivity loss and short-term fluctuations.
    • Increased scatter with normal sensitivity identified as a potential early glaucoma sign.
    • Glaucoma progression leads to a 'grey area of increased scatter' with poorly defined sensitivity thresholds.

    Conclusions:

    • Extensive threshold perimetry is necessary to detect subtle visual field disturbances.
    • Increased scatter patterns, not sharply bordered scotomas, characterize glaucomatous damage.
    • Findings explain variability in visual field tests due to perimetric scatter rather than pathological changes.
