Abstract
AIMS To simulate the central binocular visual field using results from merged left and right monocular Humphrey fields. To assess the agreement between the simulation and the binocular Humphrey Esterman visual field test (EVFT). METHOD 59 consecutive patients with bilateral glaucoma each recorded Humphrey 24-2 fields for both eyes and binocular EVFT on the same visit. EVFT results were used to identify patients exhibiting at least one defect (RESULTS Substantial agreement was observed between the methods in classifying patients with at least one defect (CONCLUSIONS Excellent agreement exists between the simulated binocular results and EVFT in classifying glaucomatous patients with central binocular defects. A rapid estimate of a patient’s central binocular field and visual functional capacity can be ascertained without extra perimetric examination.Keywords
