32
Q

Static threshold perimetry. Where does it start? what is the bracketing technique?

A

Starts test at a single locus (anchor point) in each quadrant of VF. Starts 4dB brighter than the age corrected norm.

If you don’t see it, it will get 2 dB brighter until you see it.

Once the patient sees it, do 4-2-1. Double crossing.

33
Q

A

Accelerated. Instead of 4-2-1, it is 4-2. Maximum likelihood procedure.
Staircase stops once accuracy is reached.

34
Q

Humphrey screening 2 zone vs 3 zone

A

2 zone- starts at age matched norm supra threshold. Gives 1 opportunity to respond. Seen = open circle. Not seen= dark square.

3 zone- tests suprathreshold first.
seen= open circle.
Retests any missed points twice. Second time at lower dB level (brighter). Seen? X

if not seen, tests at 0 dB. Not seen? Absolute defect
