Study of Optimal Perimetric Testing In Children (OPTIC): developing consensus and setting research priorities for perimetry in the management of children with glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perimetry is important in the management of children with glaucoma, but there is limited evidence-based guidance on its use. We report an expert consensus-based study to update guidance and identify areas requiring further research.

Methods

Experts were invited to participate in a modified Delphi consensus process. Panel selection was based on clinical experience of managing children with glaucoma and UK-based training to minimise diversity of view due to healthcare setting. Questionnaires were delivered electronically, and analysed to establish 'agreement'. Divergence of opinions was investigated and resolved where possible through further iterations.

Results

7/9 experts invited agreed to participate. Consensus (≥5/7 (71%) in agreement) was achieved for 21
