Example of the report of the 10–2 visual field test with size III stimulus performed on a healthy control.
Similar visual field tests were obtained with stimulus sizes I and II. Left: graph displaying the probability plot of each test compared to the software database. In this example, all test points were within normal limits (p > 0.05). Center: graph displaying the sensitivity, in decibels, in each of the 68 test points. Right: a colored graphic representation of the sensitivity in the 68 test points.
Fig 2.
Demarcation of the macular area of a right eye scanned by optical coherence tomography for the measurement of ganglion cell layer thickness following retinal layer segmentation.
The color-enhanced squares represent the analyzed area, divided into four quadrants and two hemifields (white lines). The peripheral squares were excluded from the analysis. Note the inclination of the scan due to fovea-disc alignment.
Fig 3.
Optical coherence tomography sectors (right column) of the macular ganglion cell layer (mGCL) of a right eye and the corresponding 10–2 visual field (VF) area (left column). The areas of interest are represented in dark gray. The inferotemporal and superotemporal visual field quadrants (ITQ and STQ, respectively) were correlated with the superonasal (A) and inferonasal (B) mGCL sectors, respectively, while the inferonasal and superonasal visual field quadrants (INQ and SNQ, respectively) were correlated with the superotemporal (C) and inferotemporal (D) mGCL sectors, respectively. The temporal and nasal hemifields (THF and NHF) were correlated, respectively, with the nasal and temporal hemiretinas (NHR and THR, respectively, E and F).

Scatterplots of the correlation between the differential light sensitivity (in decibels) in visual field (VF) testing with Goldmann stimulus size I, II, and III and macular ganglion cell layer (mGCL) thickness in the corresponding sector in eyes with chiasmal compression.
A: Inferotemporal VF quadrant versus superonasal mGCL quadrant; B: Superotemporal VF quadrant versus inferonasal mGCL quadrant; C: inferonasal VF quadrant versus superotemporal mGCL quadrant; D: superonasal VF quadrant versus inferotemporal mGCL quadrant; E: temporal hemifield versus nasal hemiretina; F: nasal hemifield versus temporal hemiretina. Spearman correlation coefficients (rho) are indicated in each graphic and statistically significant values (p < 0.05) are displayed in bold type.
