Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of various portions of the glaucoma screening process, 145 participants underwent complete ophthalmic examinations. A weighted questionnaire was 20% (2 patients) and 36% (5 suspects) sensitive for the glaucoma patients and glaucoma suspects, respectively. Tonometry alone was 20% (2 patients) and 7% (1 suspect) sensitive for glaucoma patients and glaucoma suspects, respectively. Automated perimetry of the central 30 degrees and nasal periphery identified nine (90%) of the glaucoma patients and five (36%) of the glaucoma suspects. The presence of increased intraocular pressure was not by itself very useful, but when perimetry or tonometry was used, 10 (100%) of the glaucoma group was identified. We recommend that automated suprathreshold perimetry and tonometry be performed in glaucoma screening. |
