Transformative approach to visual field testing• Glaucoma patients know their vision can get worse• Patients feel terrible when their results are unreliable• Patients have anxiety not from their perceived failure to be a good test-
taker• Current tests such as the Humphrey and Octopus are difficult to take
• Eye movements, false-alarm trials, loss of concentration• Test results reflect “1/3 the retina, 1/3 the patient, and 1/3 the perimetrist”
• Goal is to transform the patient’s role from test subject to team member
