INTRODUCTION / INSTRUMENT SETUP

ABOUT VISUAL FIELDS

When asked to assess one’s own vision, the average person often will confidently reply “I see 20/20”, “20/100” or whatever the result of their visual acuity test. Fortunately, doctors appreciate the complexities involved in evaluating visual function and rely on an extensive and varied battery of diagnostic tests and instruments as part of the ocular examination. Without question, one of the most essential tools in the modern ophthalmic office is the computerized perimeter, used to evaluate the visual field.

The purpose of visual field testing, or perimetry, is to provide information critical to:

diagnosing ocular diseases, especially glaucoma

evaluating neurological diseases

monitoring the progress of ocular and neurological diseases.

Visual field testing can lead to early detection and treatment of disease. In the case of glaucoma, visual fields play a major role in identifying visual field defects and evaluating the efficacy of the therapy used to control the disease process.

What visual field

When evaluating visual performance, clinicians are primarily interested in two retinal

tests measure

functions: resolution and contrast sensitivity. Resolution is the ability to identify discrete forms

 

(letters, numbers, symbols), and is commonly measured with the visual acuity test. Resolution

 

rapidly diminishes with increasing distance from the fovea and is, therefore, a poor indicator

 

of overall visual performance.

 

A better means of evaluating visual function—especially those areas less sensitive than the

 

fovea—is contrast sensitivity testing. Contrast sensitivity is the ability to detect a stimulus (spot

 

of light or other target) against a darker or brighter background. Standard Humphrey

 

perimetry may be thought of as contrast sensitivity testing applied throughout the peripheral

 

visual field.

 

In perimetry, the term “threshold” is used to describe a very specific level of stimulus detec-

 

tion. The threshold represents the point at which a stimulus is seen 50% of the time and

 

missed 50% of the time. The assumption is that all stimuli brighter than the threshold value

 

will be seen and all stimuli dimmer will be missed. Reviewing the threshold value at each point

 

tested in the visual field is an important part of the diagnostic process.

 

Visual field tests can yield information that is general in nature, as with screening tests, or

 

more exacting and quantitative, as with threshold tests. In deciding which test type is most

 

appropriate for a patient the practitioner is influenced by many factors, including the patient’s

 

presenting complaint, family history, age, degree of cooperation, and time available to run

 

the test.

Normal versus

The visual field normally extends more than 90° temporally, 60° nasally and superiorly,

and about 70° inferiorly. That means a person can potentially perceive stimuli within this

 

range while staring at a fixed point.

Figure 1.1: The Boundaries of the Normal Visual Field

A more comprehensive understanding of the normal field takes into account that visual sensitivity is not constant (or equal) throughout the range. As previously stated, vision is most acute at the fovea and decreases toward the periphery of the retina. It is easy to see why the visual field is often expressed as a “hill of vision in a sea of darkness”.

Figure 1.2: The Normal Hill of Vision

Several factors affect the normal hill of vision causing variations in its overall height and shape. Among them are a patient’s age, ambient light, stimulus size, and stimulus duration. In general, deviations from the normal hill are viewed as visual field defects and caused by some pathological change.

INTRODUCTION / INSTRUMENT SETUP

 

A defect (or scotoma) is categorized as either relative or absolute. A relative defect is an area

 

 

that has depressed vision or less than normal sensitivity; an absolute defect is an area where

 

the perception of light is absent. The point at which the optic nerve enters the retina is referred

 

to as the blind spot, and is an example of an absolute scotoma.

 

Some defect patterns are characteristic of certain diseases, a fact which makes visual field

 

testing a valuable part of the diagnostic process. Furthermore, by having patients repeat the

 

same tests at later dates, practitioners gain insight into the progression of the disease and the

 

effectiveness of treatment.

Methods of testing

Over the years, visual field testing devices have varied in size, complexity, and testing

the visual field

methodology. The fundamental premise has remained the same, however; patients must

 

respond when they see a stimulus.

 

In kinetic testing, a target of fixed stimulus characteristics is moved into the visual field from a

 

non-seeing area, until it is detected by the patient. Typically, the target is brought toward the

 

center from several directions and the operator marks the location at which the patient first

 

detects the target (threshold point).

 

Kinetic test results can only be reliably related to specific parts of the visual field if points are

 

joined to form an isopter, or ring of equal contrast sensitivity. Targets of varying size and

 

brightness are used during one kinetic test, and for each different target, a different isopter is

 

mapped. When reviewing several isopters, the clinician is visualizing different tiers in the hill

 

of vision.

 

A second method of evaluating retinal function is known as static threshold testing. The term

 

“static” refers to a stationary (rather than moving) stimulus being used.

 

In static testing, predefined test locations in the visual field are probed. Through a series of

 

stimulus presentations of varying brightness intensities, the threshold value is determined for

 

each test point. When evaluating static test results, clinicians are looking at the topography or

 

contour of the hill of vision, and whether depressions are evident.

Patient fixation and

In order for any visual field test to be clinically useful, it must yield reliable results. One

test reliability

important factor affecting reliability is the steadiness of patient fixation. Unless the eye being

 

tested accurately fixates on the target while responding to stimuli, the results are unreliable.

 

Other factors adversely affecting reliability are:

 

• patient fatigue and anxiety

 

• poor test instructions

 

• patient discomfort

 

• improper near vision correction for central testing.

Reasons for

Certainly the advancements in microprocessor technology within the last 20 years have had

computerized perimetry

a profound effect on perimetry. Perimeters have evolved into a more precise measuring tool

 

yielding highly repeatable results.

 

 

These changes are better appreciated by examining the benefits computerized perimeters bring

 

to both patient and professional:

 

Reproducible testing conditions.

Data storage capability; results can be compared over time and analyzed using expert system software.

More sensitive testing; many researchers claim static perimetry to be superior to the kinetic method for identifying defects. Performed manually, static testing would be too time-consuming.

Ease of operation; menu-driven software makes automated perimeters easy to learn and use.

THE HUMPHREY ADVANTAGE

Over 15 years of advancements in research, design and development are reflected in the Humphrey® Field Analyzer II. Equally important, the latest models represent improvements suggested by users from around the world who have generously shared their best ideas with Carl Zeiss Meditec. With over 30,000 Humphrey Field Analyzers in use worldwide, Carl Zeiss Meditec took on the challenge of improving the testing experience for the patient, the operator, and the practitioner. Here are some of the features which differentiate the HFA II from all other autoperimeters available today.

Ergonomic design

The HFA II relieves many physical discomforts

 

associated with visual field testing. The chin

 

rest and bowl shape allow patients to assume a

 

more natural and relaxed sitting position when

 

taking tests.

The patient response button is easy to operate,

especially for patients who have limited use of their hands; for instance, patients with arthritis. The uniquely-shaped button may be placed on a knee, lap or the arm of a chair for better leverage. The cord angles away from the patient for greater comfort. The response button will beep each time it is pressed to give immediate feedback to the patient and to the user.

INTRODUCTION / INSTRUMENT SETUP

Easy operation

 

Sophisticated instrumentation need not be complicated. The HFA II offers a number of features

 

 

 

intended to make the instrument easier to use:

 

 

• Touch screen design speeds data input.

 

 

• Menu and icon commands simplify operation.

 

 

• On-screen video eye monitor is standard on all models.

 

 

• Confirmation screens reduce unintentional data loss.

 

 

• A keyboard and trackball or mouse can be connected to the HFA II as optional data

 

 

input devices.

Speedy testing

 

Carl Zeiss Meditec’s SITA™ testing strategies allow precise visual field measurements

 

 

with unprecedented speed. With the SITA strategies, users can obtain visual field information in

 

 

half the time it takes using conventional testing algorithms without compromising accuracy.

 

 

SITA represents the very latest in autoperimetry technology and it is only available with your

 

 

Humphrey Field Analyzer II.

Sophisticated data

 

The Humphrey Field Analyzer’s statistical software, STATPAC™, provides immediate expert

analysis with STATPAC™

 

system analysis of visual field test results. With STATPAC you can analyze test results at the time

 

 

of examination, store test results and analyze them at your convenience, or recall previously

 

 

stored tests to analyze for comparative purposes.

 

 

STATPAC includes several exclusive features to help you identify visual field change:

 

 

• Using results from a single test, STATPAC can point out suspicious areas that otherwise

 

 

might not be evident until subsequent tests were done.

 

 

• STATPAC can identify areas that look suspicious but which, in fact, compare favorably

 

 

with normals data.

 

 

• Using results from a series of tests, STATPAC provides a highly sensitive and informative

 

 

analysis of changes in the patient’s visual field over time.

 

 

• The Glaucoma Hemifield Test (GHT) compares points in the superior and inferior

 

 

hemifields to provide a plain language analysis of test results.

 

 

• The HFA II provides separate databases for STATPAC analysis. These include databases

 

 

for SITA and Blue-Yellow perimetry, in addition to the well-established databases for

 

 

Full Threshold and FastPac test results.

 

 

• Another database consisting of stable glaucoma patients is used with the Glaucoma

 

 

Change Probability Analysis for following change in the progress of the disease. This

 

 

analysis is only available with Full Threshold testing.

Blue-Yellow (SWAP) testing

 

Blue-Yellow perimetry, also known as Short Wavelength Automated Perimetry, or SWAP,

 

 

 

(model 745i and 750i)

 

has performed better than standard computerized perimetry according to published

 

 

 

longitudinal studies. Working independently, researchers from U.C. Davis and U.C. San Diego

 

 

have found that Blue-Yellow perimetry identified early glaucomatous visual field defects years

 

 

before they could be detected using standard white-on-white perimetry.

 

 

 

Blue-Yellow perimetry differs from standard static White-on-White perimetry only in that a

 

 

 

carefully chosen wavelength of blue light is used as the stimulus, and a specific color and

 

 

 

brightness of yellow light is used for the background illumination. For more information on

 

 

Blue-Yellow perimetry, see Section 4 and Section 7.

 

Automatic fixation monitoring

 

The HFA II employs several methods for ensuring that patients maintain proper fixation of the

 

 

target during testing. All models are equipped with a video eye monitor which presents a view

 

 

of the patient’s eye on-screen so that users can ensure proper patient fixation. Every HFA II also

 

 

offers standard Heijl-Krakau blind spot monitoring.

 

 

 

Models 740i, 745i and 750i also offer Gaze Tracking: a patented, high precision system which

 

 

uses real-time image analysis to verify the patient is looking at the fixation target and not

 

 

 

looking around. The gaze tracking device is unaffected by the patient’s head position. A

 

 

 

continuous record of fixation is available for monitoring on the test screen throughout the test.

 

 

The gaze track graph is included on the printout to provide a permanent record of the patient’s

 

 

fixation.

 

 

 

For patients who require a trial lens, the model 750i uses Head Tracking and Vertex Monitor-

 

 

ing to help ensure that the patient’s eye is both centered behind the lens and is held at the

 

 

 

proper distance from the lens. These features help to eliminate the trial lens as a possible

 

 

 

source of unreliable visual field results.

 

Data protection features

 

Visual field results need to be saved and protected for future use. The HFA II offers you a

 

 

 

number of data storage methods to file the results. Floppy disk data storage is available with all

 

 

models of the HFA II. Magneto-optical disk backup is available on the model 750i of the HFA II

 

 

and is optional with other models. There are a number of additional data protection features

 

 

that work internally to safeguard your data from serious loss or damage. This User’s Guide

 

 

 

describes in great detail the procedures for creating extra copies of your data.

USING THIS GUIDE

 

 

To fully appreciate the capability of the HFA II and develop good testing techniques, we

 

recommend that you rely on the User’s Guide as your training and reference manual. It has

 

been designed to make learning easy. The concise step-by-step instructions and accompanying

 

illustrations help you get started quickly and with more confidence.

 

We think you will enjoy working with the HFA II. The friendly touch control makes it inviting to

 

learn and easy to operate. For optimum results:

 

• Read your guide in the order written.

 

• Read it while sitting at the instrument.

 

• Practice using the HFA II by first testing staff members before using it with patients.

Model differentiation

This guide contains instructions for Models 720i, 740i, 745i and 750i. Although much of the

 

information is relevant to all models, some information only applies to particular models.

 

When a feature or function applies to specific models, this guide specifies the model

 

number(s), often in parentheses, in a prominent location. An example of this is found in the

 

previous discussion of Blue-Yellow testing (previous page). Conversely, model numbers are

 

not specified when information is standard or optional on all models.

 

You can find the model number of your instrument on the rear panel of the HFA II or you may

 

access this information via the “i ” button located in the upper, left-hand corner of the screen

 

(see Section 2: “The Information “i ” Button”). If you are unsure about the particular

 

capabilities of your instrument, refer to Appendix A: “HFA II Product Specifications”.

Text conventions

The terms “select,” “choose,” and “press” are used interchangeably. Each term means to

 

initiate an operator action using the touch screen, external keyboard, trackball, or mouse. The

 

terms “hard disk” and “hard drive” are used interchangeably in reference to the data storage

 

device standard on all HFA II models.

 

UPPER CASE LETTERS are reserved for references to specific command buttons found on the

 

touch screen. The exceptions to this are messages on test printouts, the words STATPAC, SITA,

 

SWAP, HFA II, and headings.

 

Italicized words are used to identify the icon buttons on the right border of the screen, the

 

titles of figures, pictures, tables, and special notes in this manual.

 

Bold words are used to highlight warnings and section headings.

Additional references

The User Guide cannot possibly cover every situation you may encounter with the HFA II,

 

especially interpretation questions. Your HFA II comes with a copy of The Field Analyzer

 

Primer which provides an overview of visual field results. Automated Static Perimetry,

 

Second Edition, by Douglas R. Anderson and Vincent Michael Patella (Mosby, Inc., St. Louis),

 

is recommended for in-depth information and analysis of visual fields.

INTRODUCTION / INSTRUMENT SETUP

 

CAUTION: Always replace fuses with same type or rating. Failure to do so may

 

 

create a fire risk. Refer to fuse ratings listed on the label on the rear panel of the instrument

 

or on the table near the fuse holder. See Section 12.

Peripheral Placement

NOTE: To maintain patient safety, peripheral devices such as printers must be placed at least

Instructions

1.5 meters (4.9 feet) away from the patient, such that the patient cannot touch a peripheral

 

device with any part of his or her body while being examined. In addition, the instument

 

operator must not attempt to touch the patient and a peripheral device at the same time while

 

examining the patient.

Radio and TV interference

The Humphrey Field Analyzer II has passed all domestic and international electromagnetic

 

emission/suppression standards. However, it still generates small amounts of radio frequency

 

energy and may cause interference to radio, television or other instruments. If the HFA II does

 

cause interference to radio or television reception, the following measures may be necessary:

 

• Plug the Humphrey Field Analyzer II into a different outlet so that the

 

instrument and the receiving device are on different branch circuits.

 

• Reorient the HFA II with respect to the TV or the radio antenna.

 

• Move the receiving device and the HFA II away from each other.

COMPONENTS

 

 

Many external devices are available to help operate your HFA II. The following is a description

 

of these devices and how to properly attach them to the HFA II.

Printers

Several printers are currently supported by the HFA II:

 

• Printrex Thermal Line Printers

 

Table-Mounted Model (standard with HFA II)

 

Stand-Alone Model (optional)

 

• Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Printers (optional):

 

1100 SE, 1200 Series and 3200 SE

 

• Lexmark Optra E312L Printer

 

• AeroComm Go Print XL wireless printing accessory

 

These specific models of the printers were tested for functionality and leakage current

 

requirements. Other printers may also work with the HFA II i series instrument.

Printrex: Table-Mounted and Stand-Alone Model

1.With power off to the table and HFA II, connect the printer interface cable to the Printer port on the HFA II. Attach the power cord to the special outlet below the table for the tablemounted Printrex printer. Refer to Figures 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9. The power cord for the standalone model plugs into the wall outlet.

2.Insert paper supply. Refer to Section 12: “Loading Paper”.

3.Turn on power to the table. Turn on power to the Printrex printer.

4.Turn on power to the HFA II.

5.From the System Setup screen, select PRINTREX. See Section 2: “Selecting the Printer Type.”

 

Hewlett-Packard LaserJet

 

 

 

Before you start, check that you have the following supplies:

 

 

 

• HP LaserJet printer

• HP printer manual

• Printer paper

 

 

• Interface cable

• Toner cartridge

 

 

1.

With power off to the HFA II, connect the interface cable to the Printer port on the HFA II

 

 

(refer to Figures 1.7 and 1.8) and the printer (refer to Hewlett-Packard printer manual).

 

2.

Install the toner cartridge.

 

 

 

3.

Insert paper supply.

 

 

 

4.

Connect the printer power cord to the wall outlet.

 

 

5.

Turn on power to the printer and the HFA II.

 

 

6.

At the System Setup menu, select HP LASERJET. See Section 2: “Selecting the Printer Type”.

External keyboard

The HFA II supports an external keyboard. The keyboard plugs into the back of the HFA II

 

(refer to Figure 1.7 and 1.8 for the location of the plug).

 

 

1.

Power off the HFA II (keyboard will not work if connected with power on).

 

2.

Plug in the keyboard.

 

 

 

3.

Power on the HFA II.

 

 

 

While many standard PC-type keyboards (must have PS/2-style plug) may be plugged into the

 

HFA II and should work, we can only guarantee compatibility if we shipped a keyboard to you.

 

See Section 2: “Using the External Keyboard” for more details.

INTRODUCTION / INSTRUMENT SETUP

1-15

Trackball, mouse,

 

It is usually possible to use a Microsoft-compatible serial trackball, mouse, or other external

 

or other input device

 

input device with your HFA II. These devices may be used as an alternative to pressing the

 

 

touch screen. They may be used in conjunction with the optional external keyboard. The

 

 

 

keyboard is not necessary to utilize these devices. For simplicity in describing the feature, the

 

 

term “trackball” will be used to represent any compatible input device. The serial trackball

 

 

is connected to the Mouse port on the back of the HFA II. The HFA II must be turned off when

 

 

attaching or removing any input device. See Section 2 for use of the trackball.

 

External VGA monitor

 

Your HFA II allows you to connect an external VGA monitor. Commands issued with the

 

 

 

keyboard and trackball / mouse can be seen on the external screen. Touch screen capability is

 

 

not available on the external monitor. The HFA II touch screen remains available for use when

 

 

using the external monitor. Output to the external monitor will display in black & white, even

 

 

when using a color monitor. Connection of the VGA monitor is made to the port found on the

 

 

back of the HFA II. See Figures 1.7 and 1.8. Use the VGA connection.

 

Surge protectors

 

Carl Zeiss Meditec recommends the use of surge protectors or UPS (Uninterruptable

 

 

 

Power Supply) systems to help isolate the HFA II from power surges or fluctuations. The HFA II

 

 

is very sensitive to line voltage changes and may experience database problems if subjected to

 

 

brownouts, power outages or surges of voltage. Hospitals, surgery centers, and offices with

 

 

instruments which consume large amounts of power, such as lasers, should be especially

 

 

careful to plug the HFA II directly into a UPS or adequate surge protector. Plugging the power

 

 

table into the UPS may not be adequate protection. Carl Zeiss Meditec recommends a

 

 

 

system with a rating of 450 volt amps or greater.

 

Connection of

 

External devices connect to the HFA II at the rear of the instrument and are hidden from view

external devices

 

behind a panel. Figures 1.7 and 1.8 show the location and identification of many of the

 

 

 

connectors previously mentioned. A diagram next to the panel helps to identify each port.

 

 

External input devices such as the glidepad, trackball, mouse and the keyboard need a PS/2

 

 

style plug for connection to the HFA II. Use the Data Transfer connection to plug in an HFA I for

 

 

serial transfer of data. Also use the Data Transfer port for connection of PC-based communica-

 

 

tions (Ex: Ensemble). Use the VGA for connection of any external VGA monitor.

Screen Body

Figure 2.1: Main Areas of the HFA II Screen

The Title Bar

This area is the top portion of every screen. The middle of the title bar displays the name of the screen in bold type. The left side shows the system software version and the “i” button. More information about the “i” button appears later in this section. The right side displays the current date, time, and a picture that shows if the floppy disk in the drive is in use. Do not insert or remove a floppy disk when the padlock is displayed on the screen as shown above.

Operator messages may appear in the top right corner of the Title Bar or the center of the Screen Body to inform you of a condition or alert you to a problem. “Printer is not connected or Off Line” and “Uninitialized Disk” are examples of operator messages. Multiple messages may appear stacked and overlapping in the upper right corner. Touching the top message collapses it, revealing the previous message.

The Screen Body

The Screen Body comprises the largest part of every screen. This is where most of the commands are issued via command buttons. The contents of the Screen Body changes after every command. The Screen Body is referred to as the “screen” throughout the User’s Guide.

Frequently, a button will appear dimmed or “ghosted.” This indicates either that the button function cannot be activated from that screen or that the button represents a feature that is not available on the HFA II model being used. For example, the CUSTOM TESTS button on the model 720i HFA II has been ghosted because this option is not available on the model 720i and is, therefore, nonfunctional.
