Abstract:
To determine the normal interindividual variability of global visual field indices in normal subjects and investigate the correlations of visual field changes with intraocular pressure and myopic degrees, OCTOPUS 2000R automated perimetry was tested in 70 eyes of 40 normal subjects who had undergone one previous visual field on two separate sessions. The average value of Mean Defect(MD) was 3.83 +/- 1.15dB. Three eyes(4.3%) were within 2dB of the normal. In the statistical analysis of Global indices between the 1st and the 2nd fields. there were no differences(p>0.05). MD and myopic degrees showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.237, p<0.05). These results indicate that visual field indices should be interpreted with caution and used as one adjunctive parameter with other clinical findings.
