15 cze 2020 · Visual field (VF) testing, although sometimes described as “torturous” by our patients, can be gratifying (and important) to interpret as an ophthalmologist, especially when done systematically. This article provides quick pearls and a framework by which you can conquer interpretation of VFs and points you in the direction of relevant ...

What is the VFI? “The VFI is a new global metric that represents the entire visual field as a single percentage of normal,” said Richard Madonna, O.D., SUNY State College of Optometry, New York. “It is based largely on the pattern deviation and weighs central points more than peripheral ones.”
Purpose: Visual field index (VFI) is a recently introduced summary parameter. Before it is widely adapted, it needs to be further characterized and compared with familiar indices used in glaucoma management, specifically mean deviation (MD).
Look at the pattern. Look at the GHT, mean deviation, VFI, and pattern standard deviation. Compare to the previous visual fields. The visual field test is among the most important tests to learn to interpret as you begin your career in ophthalmology. Learn about the top 5 most common fields!
Visual field index (VFI). This index expresses the visual field status as a percent of a normal age-adjusted visual field. Greater weight is given to points closer to fixation to adjust for gangion cell density and visual function. The index may also be less sensitive to cataract and media changes. Mean deviation (see section 4.3). The overall ...
10 mar 2022 · Your visual field is how wide of an area your eye can see when you focus on a central point. Visual field testing is one way your ophthalmologist measures how much vision you have in either eye, and how much vision loss may have occurred over time.
25 sie 2023 · Visual field: The visual field is the extent of an area visible to an individual during steady fixation of the eye in any one gaze or direction.
