Factors associated with visual field testing reliability in children with glaucoma or suspected glaucoma

Standard automated perimetry (SAP) is an essential tool in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma by providing quantitative and comparative characterization of visual field defects over time.1 In adults with glaucoma, regular SAP testing is considered standard of care and the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) recommends testing at least annually,2 though some studies have suggested the utility of more frequent testing.3 However, in children, SAP is less widely used given concerns about its feasibility and utility.
