Test –retest reliability of goldmann perimetry in children with NF-1 associated optic pathway glioma

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) associated optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) may cause profound loss of vision and visual field (VF). Many children undergo formal VF testing to monitor for signs of tumor progression. The purpose of this study is to determine the test –retest reliability and variability of testing using Goldmann perimetry in children with NF-1-associated OPGs in an effort to provide evidence-based guidelines for tumor progression.
