Description
Summary:Purpose: To investigate the agreement between the Oculus and Metrovision perimeters in the visual field evaluation of glaucoma patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 41 consecutive glaucoma patients were enrolled. After detailed clinical examinations, visual field testing was performed for all patients using the Oculus and Metrovision perimeters. The interval time between the two visual field examinations was 30 min. Results: A total of 22 participants were male (53.7%) and the mean ± standard deviation (SD) age was 58.6 ± 9.1 years. The absolute average of the mean deviation (MD) in the oculus perimeter (8.24 ± 4.92 dB) was higher compared to the Metrovision perimeter (4.02 ± 4.62; P < 0.001). This difference was also evident in the Bland-Altman graph. The loss variance (pattern SD) values of Oculus perimeter (28.58 ± 16.40) and Metrovision perimeter (28.10 ± 28.45) were not significantly different; although based on the Bland-Altman plots in the lower MDs, the agreement is better and the data dispersion is lower, and in the higher MDs, the agreement is lower. The parameters of four visual field quadrants were also compared and showed poor correlations (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The Oculus and Metrovision perimeter devices have good agreement in lower MDs; however, they cannot be used interchangeably.
