Measuring a specific area of visual field over time with OCT guidance improved detection of visual field worsening, particularly in less severe cases of glaucoma, according to a speaker.
“Our hypothesis here was that if we use a baseline OCT scan to inform the portion of the visual field to follow over time, we’d be able to better detect visual field change by focusing on structurally correlated functional damage and reducing the noise of testing,” Jithin Yohannan, MD, MPH, said at the American Glaucoma Society meeting.
