Utility of targeted mean total deviation trend analysis for detecting progressive visual field changes in early-to-moderate stage glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the clinical utility of trend-based analysis of the targeted mean total deviation (TMTD) by comparing its rates of visual field (VF) change and sensitivities of detecting VF progression with those of the mean total deviation (mTD) in the global and hemifield VF area in early to-moderate glaucoma patients.

Methods

A single eye from 139 open-angle glaucoma patients with hemifield VF defects and a minimum two year follow-up were retrospectively evaluated. The TMTD was estimated by averaging the total deviation (TD) values after excluding VF points that had a threshold sensitivity of <0 dB in three baseline tests, and the mTD by averaging the entire VF TD values. The study patients were classified as VF progressors vs. non-progressors using both event- and
