How Do Patients Feel About Visual Field Testing? Analysis of Subjective Perception of Standard Automated Perimetry.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients' perception of cooperation in VFT is a poor predictor of its reliability. Although young cooperative patients may be aware of their good cooperation, even the youngest are unaware of their poor performance. This emphasizes the importance of giving proper directions to all patients during VFT to obtain better reliability indices. Younger, healthy patients are more aware of their health status, than those with a damaged VF, regardless of age. Therefore, illness education is crucial in all glaucoma patients.
