Mapping Standard Automated Perimetry to the Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer in Glaucoma

Abstract: There was a moderate association between the VF regions and the RNFL thickness in patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy, as measured by OCT. Within sectors of the RNFL, there was some overlap in the representation of the VF regions. The map obtained validates previously reported clinical findings and contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between structure and function in patients with glaucoma.

“…Moreover, conversion to glaucoma was defined by objective changes measured by HRT, which is a validated technology for diagnosing and monitoring ONH changes in patients with glaucoma or at risk for developing the disease. 19,[24][25][26]28,29 Our long follow-up period allowed us to obtain enough MRA converters to provide reliable results, especially because the glaucomatous ONH changes usually occur slowly and progressively in this kind of patient.…”

“…The temporal and nasal sectors of HRT3 were excluded from the statistical analysis because the superior and inferior sectors of the optic disc are the most sensitive for the detection of early glaucomatous changes. 19,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Thus, the sample was divided into two groups: subjects who converted to glaucoma (MRA-converters), which included participants with worsening in at least three MRA sectors during the follow-up period, [30][31][32] and subjects who did not convert to glaucoma (nonconverters), comprised of participants who did not meet the previous condition.…”

“…This likely suggests that fibers loss and VF defects do not show an exact correlation maybe due to the necessity for a minimum expected fiber loss before VF loss occurs, as already stated in previous studies. 16 …”

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Some studies compared tests for evaluating the VF based on other stimuli than white-on-white perimetry, [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] or evaluated the structure-function relationship. [28][29][30][31][32][33] The objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare the glaucoma diagnostic accuracy of the most widely used VF testing algorithms in clinical practice (24-2 SITA Standard strategy of HFA and G1 TOP strategy of Octopus) with one of the most advanced structural imagining tests (OCT). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study aimed at comparing the diagnostic accuracy of these tests.…”
