The Computerized Glaucoma Visual Function Test: A Pilot Study Evaluating Computer-Screen Based Tests of Visual Function in Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We aimed to develop and evaluate the Computerized Glaucoma Visual Function Test (CoGVFT), among a cohort of glaucoma patients, and identify potential new items to optimize the test.

Method

A cross-sectional study involving 84 patients with open-angle glaucoma of varying severity and 18 controls without glaucoma were recruited. Better and worse eye visual field parameters, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, 6-Part Cognitive Impairment Test (6CIT) and Glaucoma Activity Limitation-9 (GAL-9) questionnaire responses were recorded. The CoGVFT was administered to all participants. Rasch analysis was used to assess the psychometric properties of the CoGVFT, which was then evaluated with criterion, convergent, and divergent validity tests. Regression modeling determined fac
