Diagnostic accuracy of the TsiogkaSpaeth grid test for detecting visual field defects in patients with glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

To determine the accuracy of an innovative paper-based, low-cost, easily accessed, portable method of evaluating the visual field (VF).

Methods

Two groups of consecutive patients with glaucoma and controls were enrolled. Both eyes were assessed, and the Humphrey field analyser (HFA) (24-2) was used to identify patients with and without VF defects. The TsiogkaSpaeth grid (TS) grid test was performed in each eye of all participants. The Humphrey VF examination and the TS grid examination were conducted consecutively on the same day by two different examiners, prior to any other eye examinations. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the TS grid scotoma area were assessed, using the results found with the HFA as the reference s
