Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l Sma r t Sup r a tes ts There are two different Supra-Threshold tests provided with the Henson 9000 software, Single Multiple stimulus: Both incorporate three levels of testing.
Vis ua l field tes ts 3 .1 .1 M u ltiple Stim u lu s The Smart Supra Multiple Stimulus test is used to rapidly screen the visual field. The test is semi-automated but requires more perimetrist involvement than the single stimulus equivalent. With a skilled perimetrist this can result in more reliable results with less variability.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l P atien t in stru c tion s 3 .1 .1 .1 It is important that the patient understands what they need to do during the test. Below is a set of instructions that we have found work well. The eye not being tested should be occluded and the test eye must be correctly aligned with the patient sitting comfortably.
Vis ua l field tes ts P resen tin g an d selec tin g dif f eren t m u ltiple stim u lu s pattern s 3 .1 .1 .2 The currently selected multiple stimulus pattern is represented on the screen by the red circles. To present this pattern to the patient click or press the space bar.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l M issed stim u li in m u ltiple stim u lu s su prath resh old test 3 .1 .1 .3 It is not unusual for a patient with no visual field loss to miss the occasional stimulus. To differentiate between these and misses due to genuine field loss, the pattern should be presented a second time.
Vis ua l field tes ts 3 .1 .2 Sin gle Stim u lu s The Smart Supra Single Stimulus test is ideal for screening the visual field. The fully automated test requires no intervention other than to instruct the patient on what to do, ensure that they have the correct refractive correction in front of their eye and that...
In this algorithm the patient has to miss a flash at each test location twice, or see it twice before it is marked as seen or missed. This algorithm is new to the Henson 9000 and takes a little longer, as there are more presentations, but is more robust to response errors and is less variable.
Vis ua l field tes ts P atien t in stru c tion s 3 .1 .2 .2 It is important that the patient understands what they need to do during the test. Below is a set of instructions that we have found work well. The eye not being tested should be occluded and the test eye must be correctly aligned with the patient sitting comfortably.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l 3 .1 .3 Settin g th e test in ten sity The Smart Supra tests present stimuli at intensities that are above the patients estimated threshold. It uses one of two techniques to establish the patient's threshold: Age related (Total Deviation).
Vis ua l field tes ts Sin gle Stim u lu s algorith m 3 .1 .3 .1 The threshold sensitivity is measured at four test locations, one in each quadrant. The locations are displaced 9 degrees from the vertical and horizontal meridians. At each location a repetitive bracketing algorithm (1dB steps, six presentations) is undertaken.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l M u ltiple Stim u lu s algorith m 3 .1 .3 .2 Perimetrist task. Present the current pattern by clicking Present Ask the patient how many stimuli they saw, the pattern can be repeated if necessary. Click either depending on whether or not they saw any stimuli.
Vis ua l field tes ts 3 .1 .4 T est Option s Clicking allows you to change the Supra-Threshold Test Options the default values of which are set in your Options file For the M u ltiple an d Sin gle Stim u lu s tests you can select to test on the basis of the patients age or from a measurement taken at the beginning of the test.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l 3 .1 .5 Exten din g th e test Each Smart Supra test is composed of three levels. The first level is a quick screening of 26 locations which are a subset of the 24-2 test pattern.
Vis ua l field tes ts 3 .1 .6 A ddin g an d c orrec tin g presen tation s In the Supra-Threshold tests it is possible to add extra test locations, re-test locations, mark a location as missed or re-classify a missed location as seen. This can be done at any stage of the test.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l 3 .1 .7 C h an gin g th e su pra-th resh old in c rem en t There are three different Smart Supra test increments that correspond to the 95, 98 and 99% chance of a stimulus presentation being seen by a person with no field loss.
Vis ua l field tes ts 3 .1 .8 A n alysin g th e resu lts The number of seen/missed stimuli in the status bar at the bottom of the screen, see below. At the end of a 24-2 test a cumulative histogram is presented giving the number of location missed at each level.

Vis ua l field tes ts ZATA Thr es ho ld tes t ZATA (Zippy Adaptive Threshold Algorithm) is a new threshold program that is faster and more accurate than earlier threshold tests (Full Threshold, Fast Threshold). Shorter test times are important in perimetry, as patients find it hard to maintain their attention much beyond three minutes and loss of attention is associated with increased variability.
3 .2 .1 Blin d spot After the demonstration at the beginning of a ZATA test the Henson 9000 searches for the blind spot. It starts off by presenting a Supra-Threshold stimulus at the most likely location of the blind spot.
Vis ua l field tes ts 3 .2 .2 Exten din g th e 24-2 test The ZATA 24/30-test starts off testing the 24-2 locations The test can be extended, either during or at the end of the 24-2 test, to include the 30-2 locations by clicking the 30-2 button The current level is highlighted in blue.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l 3 .2 .3 Fov ea m easu rem en t In a ZATA test it is possible to measure the sensitivity of the eye at the fovea. For this measurement the patient fixates the centre of a four-point pattern of lights positioned below the normal central fixation light.
Vis ua l field tes ts 3 .2 .4 Global In dic es Global indices are single numbers that characterize the whole visual field. They are used to monitor the extent of loss over time. There are three provided with the ZATA Threshold test: Mean Defect.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l M ean Def ec t 3 .2 .4 .1 The Mean Defect value, on the printout, gives the clinician an estimate of the extent of damage. A more negative value indicates a less sensitive eye. Mean Defect values are sensitive to both scotoma and media opacities.
Vis ua l field tes ts Stan dard Dev iation 3 .2 .4 .2 The Pattern Standard Deviation of the defect values is a measure of their variability. Large values are indicative of localised scotoma. This global index can be used to monitor progression where increases in the index indicate a deepening or enlargement of localised loss.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l H em if ield T est 3 .2 .4 .3 The Hemifield Test compares the defect values in the superior hemifield to those in the inferior hemifield and reports on whether this falls within normal limits. The test is very sensitive to the early changes that occur in glaucoma which are often restricted to either the superior or inferior hemifields.
Vis ua l field tes ts 3 .2 .5 Ou tpu ts At the end of a ZATA test the following three buttons will appear on the menu bar. The currently displayed format is represented by the button with a blue background. displays the results in a gray scale format.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l T h resh old/ gray sc ale 3 .2 .5 .1 Threshold and gray scale values are displayed on the standard printout . Threshold values are given in decibels of attenuation where 0 corresponds to 3183 cd/m (10000 asb).
Vis ua l field tes ts T otal Dev iation 3 .2 .5 .2 Total Deviation values are the difference between the measured threshold and that expected from an age-matched normal eye. They are presented in two different forms: Absolute values in decibels (dB). Symbols representing the probability that the threshold measure comes from a normal eye.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l P attern Dev iation 3 .2 .5 .3 Pattern Deviation values remove the effect of overall shifts in sensitivity to better expose the pattern of any field loss. At the end of a test the software calculates, for each test location, the Total Deviation values...

It is important that the patient wears the correct refractive correction (suitable for a 25cm test distance) during the visual field test. Following the version 4.0 software update the Henson 9000 is now fitted with a full aperture trial lens holder. Place the correct lenses in the holder and with the patient correctly aligned move the holder as close to the patients eye as possible.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l Auto timing In single stimulus tests the speed of presentations changes according to how fast the patient presses the response button If the patient responds quickly, the speed of presentations increases. If they respond slowly the speed of presentations will decrease.
Gener a l info r ma tio n Ca tch tr ia ls Single stimulus tests incorporate catch trials to give the clinician an estimate of the patient's reliability. False positives: when no stimulus is presented. False negatives (only in threshold and Driving tests): when a repeat presentation is made at an already seen location.
Hens o n 9000 Per imeter Us er M a nua l Cha ng ing eyes The selected eye has a blue background You can change eyes at any time by clicking the unselected button. Swapping during a test will not result in any loss of data.
