Mapping Standard Automated Perimetry to the Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer in Glaucoma
purpose. To establish a map relating visual field (VF) test points to corresponding areas of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy.methods. One hundred four consecutive subjects with open-angle glaucoma were prospectively selected. All subjects underwent standard automated perimetry (SAP) and imaging with OCT. Factor analyses of the mean thresholds for the SAP test points were performed, independently for each hemifield, to define regions of related points. Pearson correlations were then calculated between the VF regions and peripapillary RNFL thickness measured with OCT at each of the 12 ...
