Murata H, Asaoka R, Fujino Y, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for comparing the usefulness of a new algorithm to measure visual field (VF) using the variational Bayes linear regression (VBLR) in glaucoma patients, in comparison to the Swedish interactive thresholding algorithm (SITA). One hundred twenty-two eyes of 73 open-angle glaucoma patients were included in the current study. VF measurement was carried out using the currently proposed VBLR programme with AP-7700 perimetry (KOWA). Findings suggested that VBLR-VF decreased the duration of the test while maintaining the same precision as the SITA-standard.
