2. Area perceived simultaneously by a fixing
eye.
Extension-
• Superior- 50°
• Inferior-75°
• Nasal-60°
• Temporal-100°-110°
Differential Light Sensitivity- ability to
detect a spot of light against a uniformly
illuminated background at a given point of
the Retina. Central Vision Bjerrum’s area
Isopter
7. STATIC
PERIMETRY
• It is a form of visual field
assessment where threshold of
retina is determined in various
fixed points.
9. STIMULUS
Threshold stimulus- 50% probability of being seen.
Measurement-
• Apostilbs-light intensity
(35ˉˡcandela/m²)
• Converted to Decible (db)-
measurement of retinal
sensitivity
• Db values are relative units of
light attenuation
• 40 dB – maximal foveal
threshold in HVF printouts
10. CLASSIFICATION
of Humphrey Field
Test
• Central Tests- 30-2,24-2,10-2,
macular program
• Peripheral Tests- Nasal step,
Temporal Cresent
Threshold Test
• Supra threshold stimulus
Screening Tests
11. Strategy- Method of presenting stimuli to the patient
to attain the desired information
13. Test Pattern Point density Number of test
point

macular involvement is to be
ruled out

Nasal step 14 To screen for peripheral nasal
step defect
14. • Full threshold- bracketing or
staircase
• Newer threshold strategy

16. STATPAC
In built software in Humphrey field analyzer
Compare measured retinal sensitivity with mean standard sensitivity at all points.
Calculate various statistical methods (ie total & patterned numerical & probability data) for raw
data.
Glaucoma Hemifield Test- detects glaucoma suspects in more focused manner.
Help to analyze glaucoma progression.
No role in deriving grey scale from raw data.
18. Patient Data-
• Name-
• Age (DOB)-
• Pupil Diameter- 3-4mm
• Visual Acuity
• Ref error correction-
Test Data-
• Fixation Monitor- blind spot
• Fixation Target- Central
• Colour of stimulus- white
• Background illumination- 31.5 Asb
• Stimulus size- Goldman III
19. Foveal threshold
Fixation loss- >20% unreliable
False positive error- >15% unreliable
False Negative error- >20% unreliable
Suspected Glaucoma- FN,FP &FL should be 0
Established Glaucoma- up to 20% acceptable
20. • Exact retinal sensitivity in db
units
• ‘0’ – Absolute scotoma
• ‘40’- maximum retinal sensitivity
• Strategy specific
22. RAW DATA expressed in terms of deviation
from normal values
Measured sensitivity – Standard retinal
sensitivity
+ : Measured sens. > standard sens.
- : Measured sens. < standard sens.
0 : Measured sens. = Standard sens.
23. Expression of loss in terms of P values
Numerical values expressed in
symbolic forms of P value
Lesser P value – higher chance of
abnormalities
STATPAC calculate P, ONLY when there
is loss of sensitivity.
To know the pattern and extent of
defect.
24. Generalised field defect
is removed by elevating
each point sensitivity by
certain db
Extent & pattern of
deep scotomas masked
by generalised
depression
25. PDNP is converted to PDPP
by calculating P values at
each point
Representing them with
probability symbols
26. Mean Deviation Index
• average deviation of sensitivity from normative data (average of all numbers in TDNP)
• Indicate generalised loss
• Express height of hill of vision
Pattern Standard Deviation (PSD)
• Express the dissimilar deviation in TDNP
• Contour of hill of vision
• Significant P value- TDNP numbers are markedly dissimilar
Short Term Fluctuation (SF)
• `Intra test variation
• Should be <3db
•Corrected Pattern Standard Deviation(CPSD)
• PSD after removing SF
28. • Pick up dissimilarity of sensitivities of corresponding points on either side of horizontal axis
