    This study evaluated an optimized visual field screening protocol for glaucoma detection. The protocol proved reliable and efficient for identifying early glaucomatous visual field defects in high-risk patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Clinical Trials

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.
    • Early detection of glaucomatous visual field defects is crucial for timely intervention.
    • Standard visual field testing can be time-consuming and may not always detect early-stage disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reliability and efficiency of an optimized visual field screening protocol.
    • To determine the protocol's effectiveness in detecting early glaucomatous visual field defects.
    • To compare the protocol's performance against standard kinetic Goldmann perimetry.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective evaluation of 145 eyes from 73 patients with elevated intraocular pressure.
    • Testing performed on a manual Goldmann perimeter.

  • Comparison between kinetic Goldmann perimetry (control) and an optimized visual field screening protocol (suprathreshold static technique).

    • Main Results:

    • Kinetic Goldmann perimetry identified 43 eyes with glaucomatous defects.
    • The optimized screening protocol detected 39 defective eyes.
    • The protocol demonstrated a false-negative rate of just under 10%, consistent with predictions, and one false-positive test.

    Conclusions:

    • The computer-generated optimal visual field screening protocols performed as predicted.
    • The optimized protocol is an excellent and efficient screening technique for early glaucomatous visual field defects.
    • This method offers a reliable approach for identifying patients requiring further glaucoma evaluation.
