Glaucoma home-monitoring using a tablet-based visual field test (Eyecatcher): An assessment of accuracy and adherence over six months
American Journal of Ophthalmology Sep 03, 2020
Jones PR, Campbell P, Callaghan T, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective longitudinal feasibility and reliability study to evaluate the accuracy and adherence of visual field (VF) home-monitoring in a pilot sample of glaucoma patients. A tablet-perimeter (Eyecatcher) was given to 20 adults (median 71 years) with an existing glaucoma diagnosis and asked to conduct one VF home-assessment per eye per month for 6 months (total of 12 tests). Two VF assessments were conducted in-clinic using Standard Automated Perimetry (SAP; 4 tests total, per eye) before and after home-monitoring. The concordance between measured VFs at home and in the clinic was strong. Substantial changes in ambient illumination did not have any significant impact on VF measurements. For certain patients, home-monitoring of VFs is possible and can provide clinically useful data.
