Visual field assessment in glaucoma: comparative evaluation of manual kinetic Goldmann perimetry and automated static perimetry. Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. 2000 Dec; 48(4): 301-6http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/71347PURPOSE: To compare the detection and assessment of progression of visual field defects in primary open-angle glaucoma with manual suprathreshold perimetry on Goldmann perimeter and automated static threshold perimetry on Humphery visual field (HVF) analyzer. METHODS: 105 eyes of 54 patients of primary open-angle glaucoma were followed up with 3-monthly perimetry on Goldmann perimeter and HVF analyzer, for a period of 9 months. RESULTS: HVF analyzer picked up visual field defects in 48 (46%) eyes whereas Goldmann perimeter picked up visual field defects in 26 (25%) eyes. HVF analyzer demonstrated progression in 14 eyes whereas Goldmann perimeter detected progression in 7 eyes during follow up of 9 months. CONCLUSIONS: HVF analyzer is superior to Goldmann perimeter to document and to demonstrate progression of visual field defects in primary open-angle glaucoma.engAdolescentAdultAgedAged, 80 and overAutomatic Data ProcessingFemaleGlaucoma, Open-Angle --diagnosisHumansMaleMiddle AgedPerimetry --methodsReproducibility of ResultsSeverity of Illness IndexVisual Fields --physiologyClinical Trial
