Question 4: Describe this patient’s visual field tests.

Answer:

A SITA-standard 24-2 visual field was performed in both eyes, with good reliability indices. In the right eye visual field, there are a few scattered points with reduced sensitivity values compared to an age-matched normative database. However there is no glaucomatous pattern to the visual field. The glaucoma hemifield test is within normal limits.

The left eye shows a superior arcuate-type defect, affecting the superior-nasal quadrant more than the superior-temporal quadrant. There is no immediate threat to fixation. The glaucoma hemifield test is outside normal limits.
