Abstract
Visual fields of normal subjects measured with program JO on the Octopus automated perimeter were artificially changed to simulate various defects. Before and after the changes, the three visual field indices: SF (short-term fluctuation), MD (mean damage) and CLV (corrected loss variation), were calculated.
We show how these indices are influenced by different alterations of the visual field. SF is a measure of the scatter; it increases if the responses of the first and the second phase do not correspond. MD responds to any kind of change of the visual field, but is especially sensitive to diffuse alterations. CLV is increased by local deviations larger than that expected simply from the scatter.
