    Introduction & Instrument Setup 1-17 About Visual Fields When asked to assess one’s own vision, the average person often will confidently reply, “I see 20/20”, “20/100” or whatever the result of their visual acuity test. Fortunately, doctors appreciate the complexities involved in evaluating visual function and rely on an extensive and varied battery of diagnostic tests and instruments as part of the ocular examination.
  • Page 26 Introduction & Instrument Setup 1-18 Normal Versus Pathologic Fields The visual field normally extends more than 90 temporally, 60 nasally and superiorly, and about º º inferiorly. That means a person can potentially perceive stimuli within this range while staring at º...
  • Page 27 Introduction & Instrument Setup 1-19 Some defect patterns are characteristic of certain diseases, a fact which makes visual field testing a valuable part of the diagnostic process. Furthermore, by having patients repeat the same tests at later dates, practitioners gain insight into the progression of the disease and the effectiveness of treatment.
  • Page 28: The Humphrey Advantage

    . Equally important, the latest models represent improvements suggested by users from around the world who generously have shared their best ideas with Carl Zeiss Meditec.

    Test Parameters and Strategies Test Strategies One of the most important test parameter settings is test strategy. For both screening and threshold testing, the strategy you use can affect the total test time and the precision to which the measurements are made. The strategy also dictates whether screening test results are displayed as qualitative (symbols) or quantitative (decibels) information.

Carl Zeiss Meditec developed the two separate SITA testing strategies with two separate goals: 1.

    Test Reliability (6) Test Reliability Factors Affecting Reliability Patient Compliance Patient Fixation Trial Lenses Evaluating Reliability Fixation Losses False Positive Errors False Negative Errors Visual field testing represents a team effort between the perimetrist and the patient. Success, as measured by reliable test results, is best attained by taking the necessary steps and precautions to help the patient take the test.
  • Page 132: Factors Affecting Reliability

    Test Reliability Factors Affecting Reliability Patient Compliance The importance of the perimetrist reigns above all other factors affecting test reliability. This was true before the advent of automation and still proves to be true with computerized perimetry. The “human factor,” that is, the interaction between the perimetrist and the patient, cannot be overlooked when discussing test reliability.
  • Page 133 Test Reliability Patient Fixation Improper or erratic fixation may make test results meaningless. The perimetrist can play an important role by emphasizing fixation while explaining the test procedure. Tips for improving patient fixation: • Choose a fixation target that is appropriate for the patient. When you tell the patient to look at the yellow fixation light, verify that they can see the light by asking, “Do you see the yellow light? Is it clear?”.
  • Page 134: Evaluating Reliability

    Test Reliability Evaluating Reliability Even with the most careful perimetric technique, sometimes test results are unreliable. To assist with evaluating reliability, the HFA II- offers several tools that measure accuracy and consistency. “Catch trials” are special stimuli (or lack of) which are used for monitoring. When the patient exceeds a set limit, a warning will display on the HFA screen and print on all types of printouts.
  • Page 135 Test Reliability In addition to a high false positive finding, trigger happy patients often show threshold results that are abnormally high. An example of this phenomenon is shown in Figure 6.1. Any individual point result of 40 dB or greater indicates a hypersensitive result which can only be due to patient overreaction or guessing when pressing the patient response button.
  • Page 136 Test Reliability False Negative Errors Occasionally during a test, a stimulus is repeated at a particular location and at a level much brighter than has already been seen. If the patient does not respond to this trial stimulus, a false negative error is recorded.

SWAP differs from standard automated static perimetry in that blue light is used as the stimulus, and yellow light is used for the background illumination.
  • Page 196 Short-Wavelength Automated Perimetry (SWAP) How SWAP Works SWAP isolates and measures Blue-Yellow ganglion cell function. The carefully chosen bright yellow background desensitizes the green and red cones, while having little effect on blue cone function. The narrow-band 440 nanometer blue stimulus falls right on the peak sensitivity of blue cones. In addition, the larger Size V stimulus is used to help expand the dynamic range of the procedure.
  • Page 197: Sita-Swap Testing

    Short-Wavelength Automated Perimetry (SWAP) SITA-SWAP Testing The SITA-SWAP test applies the faster testing capabilities of the SITA strategies to SWAP testing. Please note that only the 24-2 pattern is available for testing using the SITA-SWAP option. It is important to demonstrate to new patients what he or she will see during testing. The stimulus may initially appear as a deep blue light projected against the yellow bowl.
  • Page 198 Short-Wavelength Automated Perimetry (SWAP) For the Blue-Yellow field, select ON (Figure 9.1) in the drop-down box to turn on SWAP testing. When you turn on Blue-Yellow testing, the following changes occur automatically: •The Test Strategy changes to SITA-SWAP. •The Stimulus Size and Blind Spot Check Size change to Size V. •The Stimulus Color changes to Blue.

Slide the handle toward the back of the bowl (away from the patient). SLIDE VISOR HANDLE AWAY FROM YOU Figure 9.3 Extending the Blue-Yellow Visor Prior to Testing Note: The visor helps shield the patient’s eyes from the glare produced by the yellow bowl-illumination lamp.

A message will remind you to replace the visor beneath the forehead rest. Move the visor handle toward you (away from the test bowl). If the visor is not retracted, stimuli in the superior visual field may not be seen beyond 35 degrees during white-on-white testing.
  • Page 201 Short-Wavelength Automated Perimetry (SWAP) 4. As with white-on-white perimetry, we recommend that you confirm any abnormal findings before making a diagnosis that is based on the visual field results. Patients often exhibit a “learning effect” and may be better prepared for the SITA-SWAP testing routine on a second visit.

  • Page 203 Short-Wavelength Automated Perimetry (SWAP) Note: It is particularly important to pay more attention to the STATPAC probability plots than to the traditional grayscale plots. This is because reviewing the SWAP grayscale images using traditional white-on-white rules may lead to a misinterpretation of the SITA-SWAP test results.

SITA takes this idea much further using patented timing techniques. It is extraordinarily responsive to patient reaction times. One way to think about SITA is that the patient runs the perimeter, rather than the reverse.

SITA Standard threshold test results are compared to one normative database, SITA Fast results to another.

    SITA Normative and GPA Databases GPA Database The GPA database consists of data from subjects that had been previously diagnosed with glaucoma. Results from nine centers were incorporated into the GPA database. Ages ranged from 16 to 89. Each subject was tested four times: once a week over a four-week period. Because the retest period was short, variability was expected to be due to inter-test variation and not progression of the disease.

For the GPA short-term reproducibility dataset, the age distribution was determined by the prevalence of glaucoma in the test population. Only 30 subjects were younger than 50 years.
