OBJECTIVE: To compare detection rates of glaucomatous @entity227 ( @entity227 ) between the conventional 6 degrees x 6 degrees stimulus grid and locally condensed target arrangements in morphologically suspicious regions. METHODS: A total of 66 eyes of 66 @entity1 with @entity726 or @entity1 suspected of having @entity726 (34 females and 32 males; age range, 14-85 years) were enrolled in this study. Individual, local target condensation was realized by @entity3217 ( @entity3217 ) using a campimeter and compared with the results of @entity7617 ( @entity7617 ), obtained with the Humphrey Field Analyzer (30-2 grid). RESULTS: Twenty-three of the 66 @entity1 showed normal findings with both methods; 27 had concordantly pathological results. In 15 @entity1 we obtained normal findings with @entity7617 , whereas @entity3217 revealed @entity8658 VFDs. Only one @entity1 showed @entity227 with @entity7617 , whereas @entity3217 results were normal. Scotoma detection rates significantly differed between the 2 methods (P<.001, sign test). Test duration with @entity3217 was more than doubled compared with @entity7617 . When considering only @entity3217 points coinciding with the 6 degrees spacing of the 30-2 grid, there was no longer a significant difference between @entity3217 and @entity7617 (P>.25, sign test). This indicated that the target pattern, rather than the perimetric device, was most relevant for detecting @entity227 . Follow-up throughout a series of 3 subsequent sessions at 6-month intervals revealed repeatable results in more than two thirds of all eyes for both @entity3217 and @entity7617 . CONCLUSIONS: Fundus-oriented perimetry that uses individually condensed test grids significantly increases the detection rate of @entity227 in morphologically conspicuous areas compared with @entity7617 using equidistant (6 degrees x 6 degrees) target arrangements. Repeatability is comparable between both methods.
