  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

  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. Results.. View More»
