β¦ Synopsis
There is potential for significantly shortening the time required for visual field screening protocols by a precise specification of the number, exact location, and sequence of points to be tested. Through statistical and mathematical methods, protocols have been developed for maximizing the probability of detecting at least one visual field defect in a subject who is a risk for early glaucomatous field loss. The mathematical formulation was derived in a generalized manner so that it could be applied to most kinetically or statically determined visual field screening methods.
