Abstract

Purpose:: To evaluate the ability of frequency doubling technology using the FDT Matrix to identify and characterize neurologic visual field defects.

Methods:: 10 patients with known neurologic visual field defects underwent conventional 24-2 SITA standard testing and frequency doubling perimetry with the Matrix FDT 24-2-5 screening strategy.

Results:: Screening FDT detected 29 of 31 involved quadrants present on Humphrey 24-2 testing (93.0%). There were 9 of 45 quadrants falsely identified as involved (20%).

Conclusions:: Visual field defects which are caused by neurologic pathology are able to be identified and quantified by FDT at the same performance levels as conventional automated perimetry .There is a tendency for FDT perimetry to overestimate the VF defect in neurologic disease.

Keywords: neuro-ophthalmology: diagnosis • visual fields
