Baseline Vascular, Structural Parameters Help Predict VF Progression “We have here identified the baseline vascular and structural parameters that can predict VF progression in OAG eyes with central VF damage at different stages of glaucoma,” the study authors concluded in their paper
VISUAL FIELD TESTING IN THE CLINIC | Ophthalmology Management In 2017, Wu et al suggested optimizing detection of progression with a less rigorous schedule by obtaining two reliable baseline VF tests followed by semiannual testing, with one confirmatory test to verify observed progression
Demystifying the Visual Field - American Academy of Ophthalmology Look for change yourself, by comparing the current VF to the last one as well as the baseline If a change has occurred, it is important to understand when and what the ocular vital signs were at that time
Identifying rapid glaucoma progressors at baseline using 10–2 visual . . . To reduce well-known effects of VF variability, we used an average of two VF tests to develop the baseline summary VF metrics, and the study design required that baseline VF defects were reproducible and consistent with structural compromise
Back to Basics: Visual Field Interpretation - Review of Ophthalmology Once we establish a baseline with the visual field and initiate treatment, then we monitor that over time and look for any changes that might indicate progression of their glaucoma,” explains Leonard Seibold, MD, who is in practice in Aurora, Colorado
Identification of Visual Field Progression Subtypes and Factors . . . Specific baseline VF patterns, such as nasal step and superior arcuate defect, are important in models for predicting faster VF progression This abstract was presented at the 2025 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, May 4-8, 2025
