Abstract |
FDT is known as a comfortable and convenient device, and there was no restriction in pupil size and refractive error within 7 diopters.To compare the effectiveness of secreening and N-30 mode in FDT, new field analyzer. Twenty-three POAG or ocular hypertension patients(43 eyes)were included in this study. All subjects underwent FDT screening and N-30 15 minutes apart on same day within 1 month after HFA C30-2 test. Mean age of the subjects was 49.77+/-11.61 years. Fifteen men and nine woman were included in this study. Test duration was 52.3+/-6.2 seconds with FDT screening, 5.46+/-0.32 minutes with FDT N-30, and 14.46+/-1.88 minutes with HFA C30-2.In global indexes MD and PSD of FDT N-30 were well correlated with MD, PSD, and CPSD of HFA C30-2 respectively(p<0.01). In diagnosing glaucoma, sensitivity of FDT screening and N-30 was 75% and 88%respectively, and specificity of screening and N-30 was 94%and 82%respectively. In detecting defect in each test location, sensitivity of FDT screening and N-30 was 68.6%and 81.6%respectively, and specificity of screening and N-30 was 94.5%and 83.8%respectively. FDT N-30 mode appears to be superior to FDT screening mode in screening and diagnosing glaucoma as there are high correlation with HFA C30-2, good sensitivity, and specificity inspite of longer test duration. |
