SITA Algorithms Performance for Optopol PTS 910 Automated Perimeter

Abstract

A variety of different types of automated perimeters are in use around the world, although all types follow the main characteristics of Humphrey (Carl Zeiss) or Octopus (Haag-Streit Diagnostics) perimeters. Purpose: To compare perimetric test duration using SITA Standard and SITA Fast algorithms in Optopol PTS 910 Automated Perimeter, for normal healthy subjects. As the subjects were healthy it was expected to demonstrate less variability than the glaucoma patients, as the group was of younger age and consequently demonstrated less fatigue and variability during the test that could bias less the results. Methods: Present study included visual field control tests that were performed to 24 normal subjects, without any vision problem or disease. Results: The test results led to the conclusion that the time duration was the same for SITA Standard and slightly increased for SITA Fast, with Optopol PTS 910 perimeter.
