Abstract
152 eyes of 86 patients with retinal diseases affecting the periphery as well as the center, and glaucoma visual defects were examined with the Fieldmaster 200 and Octopus. Manual kinetic perimetry with a Goldmann perimeter was used for comparison, to find out how reliable field defects are, detected by a single examination. Patients aged between 20 and 50 years have shown in about 94% reliable results.
In the age group 51 –70 years still 90% gave good answers in visual field examination. Patients aged over 70 years gave only in 25% reliable answers in their examinations.
The reliability of defects in visual fields is not different between the Fieldmaster and the Goldmann perimeter, while the Octopus provides objective data for their evaluation.
