Reliability and Intersession Agreement of Microperimetric and Fixation Measurements Obtained with a New Microperimeter in Normal Eyes

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the reliability and intersession agreement of measurements of retinal sensitivity as well as of the fixation pattern obtained in healthy eyes with a microperimeter integrating the mechanism of the scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) with the static perimetry. Methods: This study included a sample of 44 healthy eyes of 44 subjects of […]

COMPASS: Clinical Evaluation of a New Instrument for the Diagnosis of Glaucoma

Abstract Aims: To evaluate Compass, a new instrument for glaucoma screening and diagnosis that combines scanning ophthalmoscopy, automated perimetry, and eye tracking. Materials and methods: A total of 320 human subjects (200 normal, 120 with glaucoma) underwent full ophthalmological evaluation and perimetric evaluation using the Humphrey SITA standard 24° test (HFA), and the Compass test […]

Microperimetry of Nascent Geographic Atrophy in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Abstract Purpose: To determine the microperimetric retinal sensitivity in areas with nascent geographic atrophy (nGA) compared with other pathological features in eyes with intermediate AMD. Methods: Participants with bilateral intermediate AMD underwent microperimetry examinations and high-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans in a prospective study. Twenty-two participants (24 eyes) identified as having a microperimetric […]

Intrasession Test–Retest Variability of Microperimetry in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Abstract Purpose: To determine the intrasession test-retest variability of microperimetry in participants with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: This study consisted of two separate groups of subjects who had not performed microperimetry previously. In group 1, 30 AMD and 14 control participants performed three microperimetry examinations of a selected eye within one session (test 1 […]

Correlation between the Ganglion Cell-Inner Plexiform Layer Thickness Measured with Cirrus Hd-Oct and Macular Visual Field Sensitivity Measured with Microperimetry

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate relationships between the macular visual field (VF) mean sensitivity and the ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer (GCA) thicknesses. Methods: Seventy-one glaucoma patients and 29 healthy subjects were included in this cross-sectional study. At each visit, GCA thicknesses were measured by Cirrus HD-OCT and static threshold perimetry was performed using Macular […]
