Transformative approach to visual field testing• Glaucoma
patients know their vision can get worse• Patients feel terrible
when their results are unreliable• Patients have anxiety not from
their perceived failure to be a good test-
taker• Current tests such as the Humphrey and Octopus are
difficult to take
• Eye movements, false-alarm trials, loss of concentration• Test
results reflect “1/3 the retina, 1/3 the patient, and 1/3 the
perimetrist”
• Goal is to transform the patient’s role from test subject to
team member
