The OCULUS Smartfield is a compact visual field device purposefully optimized for monitoring functional impairment in glaucoma. Based on an ultra-high-luminance LCD screen it performs standard automated perimetry of the central visual field and beyond. Despite its small size, the Smartfield perimeter offers a comprehensive clinical solution in visual field testing for any glaucoma practice.
The Glaucoma Staging Program (GSP) is based on pattern recognition and is dedicated to early detection of glaucoma.
The GSP software places examination findings into visual field classes (normal, glaucomatous, artifactual and neuro) based solely on their appearance. In addition, risk classes (normal, suspect, pre-perimetric, early stage, moderate and severe) are also assigned to findings that are classified as normal or glaucomatous. The evaluation results are presented in intuitive green-yellow-red color coding.
The striking novelty of the GSP is its ability to detect subtle changes in the visual field associated with early stage glaucoma. Findings of suspect and pre-perimetric risk classes may contain reductions in the visual field that cannot be readily seen by the examiner. They usually remain undetected also by standard perimetric indices.
The Glaucoma Likelihood Index (GLI) summarizes the results of the GSP classification into a single parameter presenting a value between 0 (normal) and 5 (severe glaucoma).
The Glaucoma Staging Program (GSP) is available for OCULUS Twinfield® 2, Centerfield® 2 and Easyfield® perimeters. This upgrade is available for the existing units.
