Global indices, pointwise sensitivity probability scores, test duration, reliability metrics analysed.For both tests 9.1% right 6.7% left results unreliable, with 58.4% 67.5% eyes achieving reliable results, respectively; 83.8% all spent less than 20 minutes performing tests. Differences global scores showed no systematic or clinically significant difference between one two eye. There was also number locations identified as defective at P < .05 level Test that unreliable tended to show more instances failed "cluster" criterion not repeatable.Frontloading viable obtaining sets reliable, repeatable data conventional outputs, overcoming practical issues regarding low singleton confirmation visual field defects.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. As a chronic disease, glaucoma presents significant burden to individual, health‐care provider and system. Currently, strategies for treating are focused on lowering intraocular pressure, which aimed at slowing or arresting disease progression over time. This only current accepted therapeutic strategy glaucoma, can be achieved using topical drugs, laser trabeculoplasty, filtration surgery cyclodestructive techniques. The pressure has been well‐supported by numerous large‐scale seminal clinical trials in primary open‐angle both its early advanced stages. Although such guidance remains current, last 10-years, there evolution preferred first‐line therapies treatment with resultant shift practice patterns, particularly course disease. These changes reflect from perspective doctor – titrating most effective least risky modality patient, consenting that preserves vision results minimal negative impact quality life. In this review, recent evidence regarding modalities presented an updated framework management proposed.

Abstract Purpose To compare clinical visual field outputs in glaucoma and healthy patients returned by the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) virtual reality (Virtual Field, VF) perimetry. Methods One eye of 54 41 subjects was prospectively tested (three times each random order) using HFA VF perimeters (24‐2 test grids). We extracted compared global indices (mean deviation [MD] pattern standard [PSD]), pointwise sensitivity (and calculated ‘equivalent’ after accounting for differences background luminance) defects. Bland–Altman difference [ M diff ] 95% limits agreement [LoA]) intraclass correlation analyses were performed. Results The shorter (by 76 s) had lower fixation losses 0.08) false‐positive rate 0.01) to (all p < 0.0001). Intraclass correlations 0.86, 0.82 0.47 MD, PSD between devices, respectively. Test–retest variability higher ( 0.3 dB, LoA −7.6 8.2 dB) −0.3 −6.4 5.9 dB), indicating greater test–retest variability. When device's underlying normative database, detected, on average, 7 more defects (at 0.05 level) out 52 locations this iteration cohort. Conclusions Virtual returns results that are correlated with HFA, but sensitivities variable. Differences defect detection its current database raise questions about widespread adoption lieu HFA.
