Lessons Learned from 23 Years of Experience in Testing Visual Fields of Neurologically Impaired Children

We sought to investigate the reliability of standard conventional perimetry (SCP) in neurologically impaired (NI) children using the examiner-based assessment of reliability scoring system and to determine the difference in time to diagnosis of a visual field defect between SCP and a behavioural vis...

description We sought to investigate the reliability of standard conventional perimetry (SCP) in neurologically impaired (NI) children using the examiner-based assessment of reliability scoring system and to determine the difference in time to diagnosis of a visual field defect between SCP and a behavioural visual field (BVF) test. Patient records of 115 NI children were retrospectively analysed. The full field peritest (FFP) had best reliability with 44% ‘good’ scores versus 22% for Goldmann perimetry (p < .001). The mean age of NI children able to perform SCP was 8.3 years versus 4.6 years for the BVF test (p < .001). Use of the BVF test may significantly reduce time to diagnosis.
