Purpose: To evaluate long-term retention, compliance, and performance of glaucoma patients using a virtual reality portable perimeter to monitor visual fields (VFs) at home.
Design: Prospective, longitudinal, cohort study.
Subjects: Twenty-five glaucoma patients with stable and reliable VFs (average age 67.
Bayesian adaptive methods for sensory threshold determination were conceived originally to track a single threshold. When applied to the testing of vision, they do not exploit the spatial patterns that underlie thresholds at different locations in the visual field. Exploiting these patterns has been recognized as key to further improving visual field test efficiency.

- Perimetry and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are important for monitoring glaucoma, but combining their data is difficult due to differing formats.
- To address this, researchers created an autoencoder data fusion (AEDF) model that effectively merges data from both methods, enhancing detection of visual field (VF) progression while preserving key OCT features.
- In a study with 2,504 tests from 140 patients, the AEDF outperformed standard methods and a Bayesian model, achieving a higher F1 score (0.60) for VF progression detection within the first two years of follow-up.
A Data-Driven Model for Simulating Longitudinal Visual Field Tests in Glaucoma.

Purpose: To develop a simulation model for glaucomatous longitudinal visual field (VF) tests with controlled progression rates.
Methods: Longitudinal VF tests of 1008 eyes from 755 patients with glaucoma were used to learn the statistical characteristics of VF progression. The learned statistics and known anatomic correlations between VF test points were used to automatically generate progression patterns for baseline fields of patients with glaucoma.
