A Perimetrist's Guide for Optic Disc Visual Field Screening: The Armaly-Drance Method.
Abstract
Disc-related defects constitute over 90% of field defects found in typical outpatient clinical population--e.g., ischemic neuropathy, optic neuritis, glaucoma. This handout is designed for anyone who uses a Goldman Visual Field Perimeter. It describes an efficient standardized screening examination that, when mastered, should take the ophthalmologist, ophthalmology resident, and experienced or inexperienced ophthalmic technician only 5 to 10 minutes per eye to perform. The technique, developed by Armaly and modified by Drance, is a combination of kinetic and suprathreshold static perimetry. Detection of disc-related field defects has shown to improve to 95% after a single day of instruction in the Armaly-Drance method.
