Using the 24-2 Sita Fast Humphrey to Detect Visual Field Defects Noted in Patients with Neurological Lesions Impacting the Visual Field Normally
Assessed by Octopus Visual Field Testing
Author(s): Anderson Scott, Battiston Adrian, Bong Donna, Carrell Nathan and Damji Karim F*
Objective: To investigate the validity of the 24-2 SITA fast Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) testing compared to the established
parameters of Octopus Visual Field (OVF) for detecting and monitoring patients with neurologic pathology impacting visual
fields
Design: Retrospective chart review.
Participants: 108 adult patients derived from the Eye Institute of Alberta (EIA) database.
Methods: Study participants included adults with OVF testing, at the EIA between September 2015 to September 2017.
Three blinded reviewers assessed if findings from each OVF would be identifiable on 24-2 SITA fast HVF testing based on
established standardized degree of visual field cut-offs. Demographic data and level of agreement were measured using basic
descriptive statistics.
