6.3.3 Cover the Non-detection eye, put the blindfold on non-test eye, and ensure that the
subjects do not influence the testing eye.
6.3.4 Check the right eye, put the jaw on the left cheek Torr.
Note: The whole test process must be carried out in the dark room. Patient cooperation is very
important for the examination accuracy.

6.4 Doctor preparation before examination


6.4.1 Diopter correction: when checking 30 degrees field vision, to make sure the
stimulating cursor focused on the retina accurately, the testing eye must be carried out
refractive correction. Unfocused blur images will be slightly larger than the actual physical
image size, brightness slightly darker, which will result in pseudo diffuse light sensitivity
decreases.

6.7 Test Method

6.7.1 Threshold tests: full threshold, fast threshold (Figure 9).


Full threshold: First give the patient an expected visual target brightness.
If patient is able to see it, use 4dB as step value and gradually
decrease visual target stimulus intensity until the patient can not
see the stimulus; If the patient can not see it, use 4dB as step value
and gradually increase the intensity of stimulation until the patient could see the stimulus. Then the
instrument will change the instruction, use 2db as step value and to change intensity gradually until the
patient response the change. Finally, visual target stimulus intensity that the patient final see is the
threshold of point.

Fast threshold: same as full threshold, it also adopts step technology, but the step size 3dB
instead of 4dB. Use threshold value for one time, if the patient can see, place 3dB as the step
value, decreased visual target stimulus intensity until the patient can not see the stimulus ,

20
Visual Field Series

which can be seen as the final threshold intensity at that point; if the patient can not see,
places to 3dB as step value, and gradually increase the intensity of stimulation until the
patient can see the stimulus, this can be seen as the standard threshold value for that point.

6.7.2 Three Options avaiable for special test and screening test

Bi-Notations, Tri- Notations and Quantify defects (figure 10)


Bi-Notations : For each test point, brightness of the visual target
stimulus provided is 6dB higher than expected standard
brightness (expected standard brightness depends on the
patient's age, which need to select "age-related" from
the initial visual acuity settings). For those test points
that patients respond (can see), it is shown as ○;
for those patients not respond to ( can not see) the test point, it shows ■.

Tri- Notations: Based on two notation, for those testing points that patient does not respond
( can not see), test it again with maximum brightness (0dB) to determine if the defect is a
relative or absolute defect. For test points which can be seen, it is appeared as ○; relative

defect is X; absolute defects appear as ■.

Defect quantification strategy: besides measure each point threshold, the other is same as
two notation. For stimulation which can be seen, use ○ to mark; For defects, use value of
the defect (in dB).

6.8 Test Parameters

Relevant test parameters can be set according to the patient's condition, detection mode and
the detection methods.

21
Visual Field Series

6.8.1 Test speed: display speed of the visual target, the test speed is set according to the
patient's age or response time, test speed can be changed during the test in order to give
patients more time to respond (Figure 11).

Standard – visual target keeping time is 0.2 seconds; visual target interval time is 0.6 seconds;
This setting can meet response speed of majority people , which is the most commonly used
settings.

Slow - a visual target keeping time is 0.2 seconds; visual target interval time is
0.8seconds;This setting can be used in patients with large age or slow response.
图 11
User define - user input stimulate keeping time and interval time. For patients who do
not suitable for standard and or slow test speed, user can define the keeping time,
interval time as shown in Figure 12 . The system will automatically saves the value,
which can be changed.

6.8.2 The initial visual acuity: initial brightness.(figure 13)

Age-related : set threshold value table according to patient age, set it as the initial brightness
of the test. This mode can only be used for standard stimulate size (Ⅲ grade cursor). When
using a non-standard stimulus, thresholds related can be used.

Threshold related - select a specific four-point in the center of vision, test its threshold, set
average value of these four-point threshold as initial standard brightness of other test points.
This mode is not suitable for patients with central visual field defects, patients with central

22
Visual Field Series

visual field defects can use age-related mode.

Single intensity – Use default 10dB test full field. If you need to use a different intensity, you
can change the intensity in the "Patient Information" list , "initial visual acuity", as shown in
Figure 12. Single intensity value is displayed in the test screen (displayed as a single
intensity value: XX) and printouts (visual target intensity: XX). In a special test library, the
system defaults to use single intensity.

6.8.3 Visual target color: set visual target color of the stimulate point. Figure 14 .

White visual target - the system will project white stimulate visual target onto a white
background bowl. It is applicable to all test library test.

Red visual target - the system will project red stimulating visual target onto a white
background bowl. This is applicable for "central 10-2 test" and "macular threshold test" of
threshold test library, which can check the central visual field defect.

23
Visual Field Series

Blue visual target- the system will project blue visual target onto a bowl of yellow
background. This is commonly used in the "blue and yellow test" tect, strong background
need to be open when using this.

6.8.4 Visual target Size


Set the size of stimulation points. It is divided into Ⅰ, Ⅱ class, Ⅲ class, Ⅳ class and Ⅴ class.
Minimum class isⅠ, Ⅴ class is the maximum, shown in Figure 15. Standard stimulus is “Ⅲ
class" visual target (blue and yellow test is Ⅴ class). When using a non-standard stimulus
visual target, test results do not have standard value reference database.

6.8.5 Blue and Yellow test


Blue-yellow perimetry also known as shortwave automated perimetry. It uses blue
color as its stimulating visual target , 315asb yellow color (strong background) for the
background. Stimulating visual target use V-class light target. It is commonly used in the
early detection of glaucoma. When testing, patients need adapt to light yellow background
(blue cone pending work)for at least three minutes. Blue-yellow perimetry threshold test is
used only in the "center 24-2 Mode" and "Center 30-2 mode” pf the threshold test library.

Blue-yellow perimetry suitable patients:


* Ocular hypertension
* Suspected glaucoma
* Mild or moderate visual field defect glaucoma patients

Standard test parameter settings: Select the


"blue and yellow test" as shown in Figure 16
* Test Library: center 24-2 mode or center 30-2 modes
* Test speeds: Standard (can be changed)
* The initial visual acuity: Age-related

24
Visual Field Series

* Depending on the standard sizes: V level as the standard


* As the standard color: blue as the standard
* Backlight: Strong background
* Preconditioning: 3 minutes

Blue-yellow perimetry working princicple:


Normal people have three three different cones cells to feel different colors: contain red
pigment with a sense of feeling red cones called R-type cone cells; contain green pigment
with a sense of feeling green cones called G-type cone cells; contain blue pigment with a
sense of feeling blue cells called B-type cone cells. Quantity ratio of these three cone cells in
the retina is R: G: B = 32:16:1. Research shows that early glaucoma can cause color vision
disorders, the most common color vision disorder is blue-yellow color vision defects, which
may be related to less number of blue cones.

In the spectrum, yellow wavelengths are long-wave and blue wavelengths are short.
Background color of B / Y is light yellow, blue is visual target color. Yellow background
can neutralize sensitivity of long-wave cones, so that it can independently checke
short-wavelength cones. The yellow background can be suppressed sensitivity of the rod cells
to reduce their participation effects.

Blue-yellow perimetry advantages:


Studies have shown that B / Y (blue-yellow perimetry) has more advantages in the early
diagnosis of glaucoma: comparing with standard white-white perimetry, blue - yellow
perimetry can check visual field damage earlier, and can predict the developmenttrend of
visual field defects. Teesalu studies suggest that, B / Y and white - white perimetry has a very
good match,position and form of the visual field defect are silimar by this two methods, but
defects area and depth by B/Y is more obvious than that by white-white. For normal Early
glaucoma checked by white - white perimetry, B / Y defects may find abnormalities, which
may provide more information for the early diagnosis of glaucoma. Their research shows: B /
Y is one of the most valuable and most sensitive method currently for glaucomatous visual
field defects functional testing.

5.8.6 Strong Background (315asb): generally used in the blue-yellow perimetry

5.8.7 Fluctuation detection: After opening fluctuation detection, the system will re-test of ten
preselected points to identify patients response variability. Report will ontain retest thresholds.
For fluctuations with significantly different values, the system will record false-negative and
false-positive on the report.

6.9 Patient Checking

6.9.1 Use black eye-cover to cover the non-examined eye.When checking right eye, the head
was put on the left side chin-rest; When checking left eye, the head was put on the right side
chin-rest. Forehead gently attached the fixed point.

6.9.2 Setting the fixation lamp, Figure 17

Central fixation lamp – located in the Bowl center,


applicable for most patients checking.

Small diamond fixation lamp - located under


the center target, should be used when patient
can not see the center fixation (such as macular degeneration),
patient should see the small diamond center.

Large diamond fixation lamp - located under the center


target, outside the small diamond fixation. This can be used for patients with vision center
dark spots who can not see the center fixation and a small diamond-shaped.

Bottom LED fixation lamp - located at the bottom of a large diamond , when using upper 64
or upper 36 special screening test, the bottom LED is the default fixation.

6.9.4 Eye movement detection: When the eye movement detection is turned on, the system
will be in the testing process of detecting eye position. The system will issue a "drip, drip"
tone when the patient eye moved. The the operator needs to remind patients keep the eye
fixed.

6.9.5 Eye sensitivity detection: open "eye moving detection", set eye tracking sensitivity
according to patient information. There are five levels, the system defaults to moderate
sensitivity. When the patient is poor fixation (eg the elderly), sensitivity can be reduced.

①Patient information: contains the patient's name, gender, age, etc. in the "Patient
Information" .
② test parameters and reliability indicators:
Test parameters: library name, test methods, test eye, visual target size and other information.

Reliability index: The index is help to determine the reliability of patient test results. It
contains the fixation loss, false-positive and false-negative and other indicators, in addition to
reliability information is also available figure gaze.

Fixation lost: ratio forms, such as: 3/10. The first number indicates the error number (of
patients responded to), and the second represents the total number detected, blind eye position
detection will be turned on during the test; system will detect blind spot every once in a while.
Blind spot is not visible. If the test result is bigger than 1/3, the test result can not be used.

False positive and false negative: The system randomly selected ten points for retesting. The
previous measured data (visual acuity) is displayed at the bottom of the box, the retest
resulting visual acuity displayed in its original position. Two results compared with each
other, if the first result 4DB less than the second test is false negative. False-negative means
patients do not understand detection process. If the first visual acuity 4DB greater than the
retest, it is recorded as a false positive. False-positive represent patients is less subjective with
the ability or distraction1. (Considered equal the difference in visual acuity less than 4) If the
test result is bigger than 1/3, the test result can not be used.

Note: Many patients will be more relaxed and cooperate better in the second vision test, thus
obtaining a more reliable test results. Therefore it is recommended that the first patient to
receive perimetry test once again.

① Digital threshold map: Show visual acuity of various test points measured.
② Grayscale: it reflects overall impression of visual field examination results by a series of
gray levels, which represent different levels of visual acuity, high visual acuity use bright
gray scale, low visual acuity use dark gray, black means 0DB which is absolute defect.
③ Total deviation figure: the measured value of each point on the eye compare with normal
visual acuity results of the same age obtained. Value indicates the degree of difference,
negative values indicate lower than normal visual acuity, the greater the value, the deeper the

defect.

④ total deviation probability map: the measured value of each point compared with the same
age normal eye visual acuity, analyzing the possibility of their belonging to a normal
distribution (probability) ; the rate use symbol (Figure 22) to display, that is the so-called
probability plots. The darker the symbol is, the smaller the normal rate is, the black box
indicates the deviation of the distribution of the points in the normal population probability is
0.5% or less.

⑤ Pattern deviation map: due to refractive error, media opacity, pupil size and other factors
affecting the results of vision, resulting in reduced visual acuity universality, universality in
the results excluding lower part of the visual acuity, thus obtained the results can be
considered to reflect a purely visual function of the nervous system, and is not affected by
optical factors. Throughout the reduced sensitivity to reduced sensitivity of universality
removed after partial vision has highlighted significant defects. The pattern deviation figure
compares with a total deviation figure, if almost identical, which means that almost no
universal decreased sensitivity, a uniform pattern of decline in the total deviation deviation
chart diagram may be caused by cataracts.

⑥ pattern deviation probability map: Excluding the reduced universal part of the result, and
then analyze its possibility of a normal distribution (probability). The probability measured
use symbol to display, that is so-called probability map.

⑦ gaze Figure: Record changes in eye position detection process, when patients blink eye or
eye position change, the system will record once (eye tracking must be open when strating
checking, otherwise gaze curve is a straight line).

Visual Field Series

The reliability index:


1) fixation Monitoring: refers to the current fixation monitoring mode
2) Stimulating cursor: refers to the current cursor size, color
3) Fixation target: fixation target used in the current test
4) Background light: the current test background brightness
5) loss of fixation: 5/20, 5 is the blind spot number the patient can see. 20 is the total
number of blind spot tests. During the test, the system will projected 5% points on the
physiological blind spot to detecte the patient's fixation. When the ratio exceeds 20%,
“XX” will be printed on the back of the number in order to cause doctor attention.

Strategy: The current strategy used for the test. Screening test has three options: two regions,
three regions, quantify defects.

False positive: x% determined based on the patient response time, the response times
beyond the limits of the response was recorded as a false positive. In the old test method: full
threshold, fast threshold will select 10 point to test again. Once data is larger than first time, it
is written as a false positive. When x% greater than 15%, it will be followed by XX to cause
operator attention.

False negative: x% selected 10 points to test again. The second test is smaller than the first
time, it is written as false negative. When x% greater than 15% followed by XX cause
operator attention.

7. Common Terms
Different light threshold: at a constant background illumination, if visibility of a stimulation
light spot (cursor) is 50%, the stimulation intensity of the light spot is the different light
threshold.

Short-term fluctuations: one perimetry inspection (usually within 20 minutes), one fixed
checkpoint for several times threshold detection, the discrete appeared is called short-term
fluctuations.

Long-term fluctuation: light threshold measured in different time have difference.


Inconsistent of light thresholds measurement results measured in two hours or days interval
called long-term fluctuations.

Vision Island: light sensitivity as Altitude, Area as the island range, vision can be described
as a three-dimensional visual Island remain "blind sea". Each point on the retina has a
corresponding position on the island. Foveal parts has the highest light sensitivity, it
constitutes the pinnacle of the island; while light sensitivity of the peripheral retinal has lower
peripheral vision, it constitute an altitude on the peripheral portion of the lower island.

Line of sight: the vertical height of any point on the island means the visual acuity of the
point; connection points in the same vertical height is the line of signt.

Physiological blind spot: correspondence to the optic nerve temporal fixation point 10 °
-15 °, an unseen area, known as the physiological blind spot. Physiological blind spot in the
vision island is a deep hole.

Tubular vision or center Island: Vision Extreme concentric narrowing, only 5 °


-10 °center vision remain.

Fan-shaped or wedge-shaped defects: fan-shaped defect, tip points to physiological blind


spot, mainly seen in the temporal visual field defect.

Quadrant defect: also known as quadrant hemianopia, two boundary defects were a vertical
line and a horizontal diameter line, that the scope of defects points is a quadrant of vision.

38
Visual Field Series

Hemianopia: visual field defect bounded by lines horizontal diameter line or vertical diameter
is called hemianopia. Hemianopia can be divided into vertical hemianopia (defect in vertical
diameter line), horizontal hemianopia (defect diameter horizontal line as the boundary, also
known as "semi-blind," in nerve fiber bundle visual field defects), ipsilateral hemianopia (the
right or left side of the eyes), the opposite side of the hemianopia (twin or double temporal
nasal).

Acular avoid: mainly seen in vertical hemianopia, when the dividing line between the blind
side and visible side go through the fixation point, to avoiding eye area, leave about a 5 °
field of vision in the center.

Dark spots: refers to the abnormal visual loss area or disappears area, when comparing with
the region and its adjacent area, light sensitivity decreases. Besides physiological blind spots
and dark spots of blood vessels, all dark spots of vision are considered abnormal.

Central dark spots: dark spots covering the fixation point with vision loss. It showes lesions
involving the fovea of the retina in the macula or optic nerve fiber bundles.

Blind central dark spots: central scotoma coving physiological blind spot, it indicates optic
fiber bundle damage the macula.

Paracentral dark spots: generally refers to less dark spots of 5 °outside, 25 °inside the
center, more common in the arcuate retinal nerve fiber bundle damage.

Arcuate dark spots: Refers to curved dark spots above or below the fixation point.

Ring dark spots: refers to the upper and lower arcuate scotoma which butt into the ring, it
seperates the visible region into two parts: the center and the surrounding area.

Relative dark spots: Refers to the dark spots disappeared when increasing the intensity of
the stimulate.

Absolute dark spots: Refers to thr invisible spots even when increasing the cursor to the
maximum brightness, physiological blind spot is absolutely typical dark spots.

39
Visual Field Series

Junctional dark spots: damage caused by the side of the optic nerve and chiasm junction.
The performance is the ipsilateral and contralateral central scotoma temporal quadrant
hemianopia.

Hemianopia dark center spots: central dark spots with hemianopia nature of dark. Spots is
limited to half of the central area, no more than the diameter of the vertical or horizontal line
diameter line.

Nasal step: the same threshold level, such as the line of sight in the nasal path is nasal step.

Limitations indentation: local light sensitivity decreased, but not form dark spots. Nasal
step, the temporal side of the line of sight, such as a wedge indentation is typical limitations
indentation.

Diffuse indentation: refers to full-field optical sensitivity coherence decreased. In kinetic


perimetry, such as the performance of all sight concentric narrowing; static perimetry is
manifested consistency DB value decreased , light threshold universality increased.
