Effectiveness of automated perimetry in following glaucomatous visual field progression.

The Fieldmaster automated perimeter's effectiveness in determining glaucomatous visual field progression was evaluated. One hundred fifty-four eyes with glaucoma (41) and ocular hypertension (113) were followed for two to four years with manual static and kinetic perimetry (Tübingen) and automated suprathreshold static perimetry (Fieldmaster). With Tübingen static testing, 11 eyes with established glaucomatous visual field loss demonstrated progressive field loss and one eye showed improvement. Ten of these 12 eyes showed progression on the Fieldmaster. Two ocular hypertensive eyes demonstrated consistent defects on the Fieldmaster over several years, but were not detected on Tübingen static perimetry. Comparison between Tübingen static testing and Fieldmaster perimetry was good except for four Fieldmaster false alarms.
