21 sty 2011 · This study was designed to test the ability of a portable computer driven, head mounted visual field testing system to perform automated perimetry on patients at their bedside and to...
24 lis 2023 · Ophthalmologists use visual field tests to document the degree of peripheral vision loss due to ptosis. The tests determine how well a patient can see above, below, and to either side while looking straight ahead.
Our modified visual field assessment is a quick and easy way to assess patient disability associated with ptosis and dermatochalasis. Surgery improves the demonstrated defect, confirming that ptosis and dermatochalasis can be considered a functional rather than cosmetic issue.
This modified test has a sensitivity of 98.8% of detecting ptosis. For patients who underwent ptosis surgery with or without blepharoplasty, 84.2% recorded an improvement in points seen with the test and 81% recorded an improvement in visual field height.
Among more recent studies in patients with ptosis, a study validating a novel static perimetry test (the Leicester Peripheral Field Test (LPFT)) revealed that 84 of 85 ptotic eyes had a...
We present here a modified visual field test (Leicester Peripheral Field Test), which is valid, quick and easy to perform. It demonstrates the visual field defects associated with both ptosis and dermatochalasis, and illustrates the improvement in visual function after corrective surgery.
