We assessed the variability of point-wise static threshold values and the components of fluctuation outside the central 30 degrees field in 20 normal individuals tested on the Humphrey field analyzer. We found a mean short-term fluctuation of 2.37 dB, a long-term heterogeneous fluctuation of 5.28 dB, and a long-term homogeneous fluctuation of 1.10 dB. All components of fluctuation were greatest superiorly. Point-wise variation was highest superiorly and nasally and increased with greater eccentricity from fixation in all but the temporal quadrant. Also, point-wise variation was greater between individuals than between tests in a single individual. This study suggests that outside the central 30 degrees field, changes in individual threshold measurements in the superior and nasal quadrants should be greater than those in the temporal or inferior quadrants before they can be distinguished from normal variation. |
