VFITM (Visual Field IndexTM) is a staging index, designed to be less affected by cataract and also to provide improved correspondence to ganglion cell loss compared to MD. VFI is approximately 100% in normal fi elds and approaches 0% in perimetrically blind fi elds.
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!
10 lut 2024 · Tabletop visual field analysis is the gold standard for assessing the functional component of glaucoma and following patients over time to look for progression of disease, but the test results are difficult to interpret. The test is operator- and patient-dependent, and the results shouldn’t be considered in isolation, physicians say.
Visual field assessment is a critical component in the ophthalmic examination. Many conditions can affect visual field testing such as glaucoma, strokes, tumors, and retinal detachment to name a few. Visual field testing can be performed in numerous ways, including confrontation method, kinetic perimetry, static perimetry, Amsler grid, or
