3. AIM Comparison of visual field plotting in glaucoma patients with
Octopus Interzeag 1-2-3,
Humphrey Field Analyzer II and
Frequency Doubling Perimetry.
4. Design Prospective, Comparative study
Participants:
100 eyes of 50 patients who attended glaucoma clinic in RIO-GOH during Jan 2005 and March 2006.
All patients were randomly selected
5. Inclusion Criteria Primary open angle glaucoma, Normo-tensive glaucoma and Glaucoma suspect
Best corrected visual acuity 6/12 or better
Gonio – open angle ( >2 by Shaffer’s Grading)
Patients co-operative for visual field analysis
6. Exclusion Criteria Closed angles by gonioscopy
Secondary and Congenital glaucoma
Ocular diseases showing similar visual field defects
Patients with media opacities - corneal edema / opacity, lens changes and retinal pathology
Patients who underwent intraocular surgeries or laser treatment
7. Patient Evaluation Slit Lamp Examination
Measurement of Intraocular pressure
Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy – Fundus
Gonioscopy – Angle Grading
8. Visual Field Examinations Octopus Interzeag 1-2-3 TOP
Humphrey Field Analyzer II, central 30-2 threshold test (SITA standard)
Frequency Doubling Technology – Full threshold (C-20)
All tests were carried out within a period of one week by trained personnel.
9. Parameters Analysed Mean Deviation / Mean Defect and Pattern Standard deviation / Loss variance of both eyes were compared and correlated between these perimeters using the Pearson correlation and Scatter diagram with regression estimate
Linear regression analysis was used to calculate the correlation coefficients.
Statistical comparison between groups used unpaired 2-tailed-t-test.
The average time taken to perform each test was analysed
10. Correlation of Mean Deviation / Defects between the perimeters
11. Correlation of Pattern Standard Deviation / Loss Variance between the perimeters
12. Time Duration taken to perform the test
13. Discussion Octopus Mean Defects
negatively correlates with Humphrey and FDT
Humphrey Mean Deviation
positively correlates with FDT
P < 0.001 – statistically significant
Octopus Loss Variance
positively correlates with PSD of Humphrey and FDT
Humphrey PSD
positively correlates with FDT
RE p < 0.05 & LE p < 0.001 --- correlation statistically significant
Test duration least in Octopus
14. Summarizing Visual field plotting with Octopus (TOP) is shortest
Global indices arrived at field plotting with all three perimeters are comparable
