This patient underwent a Central 30-2 Threshold Test with SITA-Fast strategy. The ‘’30’’ indicates that the central 30 degrees of visual field were analyzed.
Based on the reliability indices, this patient had no fixation losses during the testing procedure. Since his false positive errors is less than 15%, the test results weren’t comprised. As for the patient’s false negative errors, it indicates that the patient did not have attention lapses or fatigue during the testing procedure. Both the false positive and negative values suggest that the test is reliable without compromises.

While the grayscale map isn’t helpful in interpreting the visual field of the patient, it should be note that there might be some sensitivity reduction in the

Since his false positive errors is less than 15%, the test results weren’t comprised. As for the patient’s false negative errors, it’s indicating that that patient did not have attention lapses or fatigue during the testing procedure. Both the false positive and negative values suggest that the test is valid without any compromised.

While the grayscale map isn’t helpful in interpreting the visual field of the patient, it should be note that there might be some sensitivity reduction in the superior nasal and temporal visual field of this patient, however this needs to be interpreted in conjunction with the raw data to avoid extrapolation. Based on the decibels value in the numeric grid, this patient appears to have relative defect in all quadrants. As for the patient’s deviation, it shows that the patient does not have any sensitivity loss pattern.
As for the patient’s pattern deviation, there seems to be significant sensitivity loss hidden in the superior temporal and superior nasal that is diffusely depressed. The patient’s pattern deviation map suggests that 95% chance that the patient has low retinal sensitivity at the points that are shown on the pattern’s deviation
