Summary

Fieldmaster perimetry testing effectively detects 95% of visual field defects found with Goldmann kinetic perimetry. This method is reliable, requires minimal training, and improves with practice.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Visual field testing

Background:

Goldmann kinetic perimetry is a standard for visual field assessment.
Evaluating new, potentially more efficient perimetry methods is crucial for clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the diagnostic accuracy and practical utility of the Fieldmaster Model 200 for visual field testing in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

Conducted perimetry on 167 consecutive patients using the Fieldmaster Model 200.
Compared Fieldmaster results against Goldmann kinetic perimetry findings.

Main Results:

Fieldmaster testing identified 95% of defects found by Goldmann perimetry.
Demonstrated low rates of false-positive and false-negative results.
Showed that unskilled personnel could perform the test effectively, with incomplete examinations dropping below 2% after familiarization.

Conclusions:

Fieldmaster Model 200 is a highly accurate and practical tool for visual field defect detection.
The test is user-friendly and improves efficiency with experience in a clinical setting.
