Rarebit perimetry and fovea test before and after cataract surgery

Abstract: . Purpose:  To evaluate the effect of cataract on rarebit perimetry and the fovea test. Methods:  Twenty‐five consecutive patients scheduled for cataract surgery (mean age 63.0 ± 7.9 years) were examined prior to and after cataract surgery with a complete ophthalmological examination. In addition, the rarebit perimetry (RBP) and the rarebit fovea test (RFT) were performed. Results:  Best‐corrected visual acuity [BCVA, expressed in minimum angle of resolution (MAR)], RBP and RFT mean hit rate (MHR) improved sig… Show more

“…Houston and colleagues found that rarebit perimetry was at least as sensitive as standard automated perimetry and even picked up visual field defects that were missed by traditional perimetry. Other studies examining the use of rarebit perimetry for intracranial or ocular hypertension, post‐extraction cataracts, amblyopia and homonymous hemianopsia have reached similar conclusions regarding the ability of rarebit perimetry to detect visual field defects. Studies have also reported that patients consider rarebit perimetry to be easier, more interesting and more comfortable than frequency doubling perimetry …”

“…In children, it has been used for visual field testing of normally sighted children [4–13] and children with visual deficits [3334]. In adults, it was demonstrated useful for a visual field evaluation of patients with optic nerve or visual pathway lesions [3536], glaucoma [37], hemianopia [3839], macular degeneration [40], cataract [41], diabetes [42], and decline in foveal function with age, reflecting the loss of neural detectors [43]. In the present study, we aimed to disentangle sensitivity from the response bias in the performance of children and adults during visual field testing using Rarebit perimetry.…”

“…A recent study of patients with dense congenital cataract treated before 4.6 months of age showed impairment not only in visual acuity but also within the 30-degree visual field (Martin et al 2008b). In a study of non-transplanted adult cataract patients, IOL implantation did not seem to affect the MHR (Nilsson et al 2009). …”
