Diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility of tendency oriented perimetry in glaucoma

To evaluate the diagnostic capability of tendency oriented perimetry (TOP) in glaucoma. A): The diagnostic accuracy of mean defect (MD), square-root of the loss variance (s LV), and number of pathologic points (NPP) was calculated in 295 normal and 414 glaucoma eyes (179 early, 112 moderate, and 123...

Summary:To evaluate the diagnostic capability of tendency oriented perimetry (TOP) in glaucoma. A): The diagnostic accuracy of mean defect (MD), square-root of the loss variance (s LV), and number of pathologic points (NPP) was calculated in 295 normal and 414 glaucoma eyes (179 early, 112 moderate, and 123 advanced) examined with TOP. B): Threshold fluctuation (F) and its relationship with the loss variance (LV) was measured in 34 normal and 33 glaucoma eyes (mean MD=3 dB; SD=3.9) for TOP and for full-threshold perimetry (FT). C): Twenty-eight eyes with stable glaucoma (mean MD=9.5 dB; SD=7.2) were examined six times to quantify LV error. D): TOP and FT were tested with the simulation program PeriSim using different behavior models. A): The best diagnostic index in early glaucoma (MD
