Feasibility and performance of eye movement perimetry for glaucoma triage in Tanzania
A prospective cross-sectional study in a real-world setting
Bibliographic Data
Triaging access to glaucoma diagnostics could allow patients to receive earlier care to slow disease progression. There is a particular need in lower-resource settings where the cost and lack of portability of standard automated perimetry (SAP) restrict access. Eye movement perimetry (EMP) uses eye-tracking technology to provide a rapid assessment of the visual field using a tablet computer. A cross-sectional study in Tanzania was undertaken to assess the feasibility of EMP as an initial glaucoma triage tool. EMP hit rate correlated with SAP mean deviation in 370 eyes (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, ρ = 0.441, p
