Comparing 10-2 and 24-2 Visual Fields for Detecting Progressive Central Visual Loss in Glaucoma Eyes with Early Central Abnormalities.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the ability of 10-2 visual field tests and central 12 locations of the 24-2 tests (C24-2) to detect central visual field progression in glaucoma eyes with early central visual field abnormalities.

Design

Observational cohort study.

Participants

Three-hundred eyes of 180 participants with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Methods

Participants with both 10-2 and 24-2 tests performed on ≥3 visits over ≥1-year period were included to estimate the longitudinal variability of 10-2 and C24-2 visual field mean deviation (MD). The variability estimates were then used to reconstruct real-world visual field results by computer simulations, in a scenario where eyes had a baseline 10-2 and C24-2 MD was -2 dB and exhibited various rates of change (-0.25, -0
