WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — Visual field testing is important for detecting progression in patients with glaucoma, but some may have difficulty with the test process, according to a speaker here.
“This is very true for the full threshold patterns, which require 15 minutes per eye,” Monica Ertel, MD, PhD, said at Hawaiian Eye 2022.
Ertel discussed developments in visual field strategies, including visual field algorithms. The SITA Standard protocol, she said, reduces test time by approximately 50% compared with full threshold testing. SITA Fast is 30% quicker than SITA Standard, and
