Clustered Volleys Stimulus Presentation for Multifocal Objective Perimetry.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Multifocal pupillographic objective perimetry (mfPOP) is being developed as an alternative to subjective threshold perimetry for the management of visual and neurological disorders. Here, we evaluate, in normal subjects, differences in signal quality between the original mfPOP method of spatially sparse Continuous stimulus presentation and the new Clustered Volleys (CVs) method. We hypothesized that the CVs method would lead to increased signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) over the original method due to the stabilization of gain within the pupillary system.

Methods

Data were collected from six separate studies where otherwise-identical pairs of mfPOP tests using either the original Continuous stimulus presentation method or the new CVs method were undertaken; 440 6-minute
