Stato-kinetic dissociation in subjects with normal and abnormal visual fields.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the presence and the importance of stato-kinetic dissociation (SKD) in subjects with normal and pathological visual fields (VF).

Methods: A "customized" perimetric test designed for the assessment of SKD was carried out in seven homogeneous samples of subjects (normal, glaucomatous, ocular hypertensive, retinopathic, cataract, anterior visual pathways neuropathic and posterior visual pathways neuropathic). The results were statistically compared (Anova).
