Abstract

PURPOSE
To determine the associations of visual field index (VFI) with advanced glaucoma intervention study (AGIS) score, mean deviation (MD), pattern standard deviation (PSD), and average retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to evaluate the diagnostic abilities of these parameters. METHODS: One hundred fifteen glaucomatous eyes and 78 healthy eyes were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Each participant had a Humphrey visual field analyzer test and OCT done. The diagnostic abilities of these parameters were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and we sought to determine the association of these parameters with VFI by Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS: The associations between analyzed parameters and VFI were statistically significant (all, p<0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUROC) value of VFI was greater than that of the MD and AGIS score (all, p<0.001) but was not different from the PSD and RNFL average thickness measured by OCT (p=0.756, p=0.638). CONCLUSIONS: The VFI showed significant associations with AGIS score, MD, PSD, and average RNFL thickness as measured by OCT and revealed similar diagnostic abilities as these parameters.
