Purpose.
To validate a new automated perimetry pattern (mf103 pattern) for the investigation of retinal structure-function relationships in glaucoma in comparison to the standard G2 pattern and to relate either field’s performance to optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods.
Automated perimetry data from the mfERG103 pattern were compared with the standard G2 pattern in glaucoma patients (18) and controls (15).
The results of both (mean defect (MD) and mean sensitivity (MS)) were compared with optical coherence tomography (OCT): retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, macular thickness (mT), and ganglion cell analysis (GCIPL).
Nine patients were followed up after one year.
Results.
G2 pattern and mf103 pattern did not differ significantly in MD or MS.
The mf103 pattern associated significantly with more RNFL sectors in both MD and MS (p<0.01 and p<0.05, resp.).
GCIPL thickness was not significantly associated with either SAP protocols.
Both protocols remained comparable after one-year follow-up.
Conclusions.
G2 and mf103 pattern can both differentiate patients from controls with no significant difference in performance.
RNFL thickness defects correlated better with mf103 than G2 with POAG.
The mfERG-103 perimetry pattern can be used to establish structure-function correlations in glaucoma and may enable a more direct comparison with objective electrophysiological data.
