Comparison of Quality and Output of Different Optimal Perimetric Testing Approaches in Children With Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

There is limited evidence to support the development of guidance for visual field testing in children with glaucoma.

Objective

To compare different static and combined static/kinetic perimetry approaches in children with glaucoma.

Design, setting, and participants

Cross-sectional, observational study recruiting children prospectively between May 2013 and June 2015 at 2 tertiary specialist pediatric ophthalmology centers in London, England (Moorfields Eye Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital). The study included 65 children aged 5 to 15 years with glaucoma (108 affected eyes).

Main outcomes and measures

A comparison of test quality and outcomes for static and combined static/kinetic techniques, with respect to ability to quantify glaucomatous los
