A PERIMETRIC RE-TEST ALGORITHM THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE ACCURATE THAN CURRENT PROCEDURES Allison McKendrick Department of Optometry and Vision Science University of Melbourne Andrew Turpin School of Computer Science and Information Technology RMIT University, Melbourne Darko Jankovic Department of Optometry and Vision Science University of Melbourne
Possible re-test algorithms • Use individual presentation information… • Use test Hill of Vision to bias re-test • Continue the previous test with “next” termination criteria • More reversals (staircase, MOBS) • Tighter PDF standard deviation (Bayesian) • Fixed number of presentaitons • Use test thresholds to seed re-test • Starting point for staircase (FT From Prior) • Initialisation of MOBS stacks • Centre a PDF around threshold (ZEST, SITA)

Problems Continue • General Height change ignored, need many presentations to get right answer if GH changes, and there is still a bias towards original test value Seed • Could adjust seed if GH change known • Estimate with “primary points” algorithm • Would be slower than Full Threshold (and SITA) Katz et al, IOVS 1632
Speeding up GH-corrected Seed • Spend 2 or 3 presentations per location checking if threshold not less than last time (multi-sample supra-threshold) • If so, then do no more for that location • Otherwise, assume threshold decreased, and seed a ZEST accordingly McKendrick & Turpin, OVS 2005

Conclusions • Continuing previous procedure doesn’t work • Seeding a ZEST with a Gaussian pdf about previous threshold works, but is slow • Adding multi-sampling supra-threshold step gives speed and accuracy gains • The resulting re-test procedure is as fast, but more accurate, than existing test algorithms BUT does not detect an isolated increase in threshold
Hill of Vision Approach • Alter eccentricity adjustments in growth pattern based on individual’s HoV • Takes into account General Height change • Very small gains, but not really worth the effort
