Normal thresholds
ā¢ Mean threshold in disease-free fields
ā¢ In a given age group
ā¢ At a given location in the visual field
ā¢ Mean normal values are stored in the
automated perimeter and compared
against patient data

Perimeter logic (1)
ā¢ Sensitivity determined at each location
ā¢ Normal range developed
ā¢ Normal range is arbitrary
ā Includes the values of 95% of the
normal population
8. Ā© Thomas R
Perimeter logic (2)
ā¢ āAbnormalā values include the lowest
5% of those in normal individuals
ā¢ Therefore, 5% of normal individuals
will be labelled abnormal
āAbnormalā is not the same
as diseased

A word about the grey scale
ā¢ Never use the grey scale alone for
interpretation
ā¢ It is useful to educate the patient
and to identify false-positive
and false-negative errors
22. Ā© Thomas R
Using the grey scale
ā¢ To educate the patient
ā¢ White scotomas with false positives
ā¢ Clover leaf pattern with false negatives
ā¢ Never interpret using the grey scale alone
24. Ā© Thomas R
Is the field abnormal?
ā¢ Without obvious defects, it is difficult
to make a decision based on the
first field
ā¢ Repeat examinations provide
definitive information
ā¢ Never make a diagnosis based on
the visual field alone

Glaucomatous defects
ā¢ Characteristics of glaucomatous defects:
ā Asymmetrical across the horizontal midline*
ā Located in the mid-periphery*
(5ā25 degrees from fixation)
ā Reproducible
ā Not attributable to other pathology
ā Localised
ā Correlating with the appearance of the optic disc
and neighbouring areas
