Artificial Intelligence Classification of Central Visual Field Patterns in Glaucoma

Inter-Eye Association of Visual Field Defects in Glaucoma and Its Clinical Utility

“…Each total deviation (TD) plot was decomposed into 16 archetypal patterns including one normal VF pattern and 15 defect patterns determined in our prior work, 42 which were clinically validated in a subsequent study 45 and further applied to improve glaucoma diagnosis and progression detection. 39,[46][47][48] An illustration of the 16 archetype (AT) patterns and corre-sponding nomenclature can be found in Figure 1A. An example of VF decomposition into ATs is shown in Figure 1B.…”

The Relationship Between Optic Disc and Retinal Artery Position and Glaucomatous Visual Field Progression

“… 35 Also, it was suggested that this inferior central area is mostly spared whenever glaucoma patients develop central vision loss, regardless of the rest of the visual field or the general vision loss severity. 36 This may be another reason for observing faster VF progression (in sectors 1 and 2) in eyes with a narrow superior artery angle. Of note, the results with the normalization suggest the effect of the narrowing of the superior artery angle (coefficients = 0.12/0.14) was not negligible at least compared to other variables, such as age (coefficients = –0.18 or –0.24), baseline mTD (0.093) and mean IOP (coefficients = –0.15 or –0.14).…”

Grand Challenges and Opportunities in Surgical Ophthalmology: Together for a Shared Future

“…Medial rectus recession would be performed in most cases due to medial rectus contracture (65), but tenotomy of three or more rectus muscles would increase the risk of anterior segment ischemia (ASI). In order to reduce the risk of ASI and also improve abduction ability, VRT procedures were modified to superior rectus transposition (SRT) (66,67) and vertical rectus belly transposition (VRBT) without tenotomy by Nishida (68) and also modified by Chen Zhao (mVRBT) [50]. The critical step of mVRBT was without tenotomy.…”
