Summary

Diagnosing glaucoma progression is challenging. A new graphical analysis method, PROGRESSOR, effectively identifies visual field deterioration by combining sensitivity changes over time with color-coded displays, aiding early detection.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Data Visualization

Background:

  • Diagnosing visual field deterioration in glaucoma patients over time using computerised perimetry is difficult.
  • Longitudinal analysis of visual field data is crucial for glaucoma management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel graphical method for analyzing longitudinal visual field data in glaucoma patients.
  • To introduce the PROGRESSOR software for enhanced interpretation of field loss.

Main Methods:

  • A linear regression model analyzes luminance sensitivity at each stimulus location against follow-up time.
  • Quantitative perimetry data is transformed into a color-coded display illustrating spatial configuration of change.
  • The PROGRESSOR software and its analysis method are described and compared with STATPAC-2 analysis.

Main Results:

  • The new graphical method demonstrates good agreement with STATPAC-2 analysis for identifying progressing retinal locations (kappa = 0.62).
  • Examples show the new method effectively compares with existing STATPAC-2 analysis.

Conclusions:

  • This novel technique offers an efficient method for detecting true progression in glaucomatous field loss.
  • Combining temporal changes in perimetric sensitivity with color-coded significant change aids interpretation.
