Dealing with perimetric variability in clinical glaucoma care

Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is affected with irreversible
resulting in visual loss. With various treatments that target the
lowering intraocular pressure, it is possible to prevent the progression of visual field loss
prevent or delay. To assess whether glaucoma is stable (i.e. the
treatment provides a sufficient reduction in intraocular pressure) or progressive (i.e.
undertreatment) the visual field examination has an essential role. Despite
this study is the gold standard in glaucoma care, is test-retest variability
an important shortcoming addressed in this thesis.
