Relationship between visual acuity and visual field and its reproducibility in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

To investigate the association between visual acuity (VA) and visual field (VF) and its reproducibility in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Subjects/methods

The study cohort comprised 227 eyes of 227 patients with RP. The reproducibility of two Humphrey VF tests (10-2 Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm [SITA] tests) performed within a period of 3 months was calculated using the root mean squared error (RMSE) of each VF test point's sensitivity. The association between the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) VA and VF sensitivity was investigated. Additionally, the relationship between RMSE and age, fixation loss, false positives, false negatives, and logMAR VA was determined.

Results

The association between visual s
