Cataract and high-pass resolution perimetry.

Abstract [en]

The present study describes the influence of cataract on high-pass resolution perimetry results. Twenty-five otherwise healthy patients were examined before and after cataract surgery. Their preoperative visual acuities ranged from 0.1 to 0.8 and their mean resolution thresholds from 3.9 to 12.3 dB. Both elevated mean thresholds and local visual fields defects were observed. In patients with low-grade cataract, i.e. preoperative visual acuity 0.3 to 0.65, the mean improvement in perimetric results after operation was approximately 1 dB. In patients with higher degrees of lens opacity, visual acuity 0.1 to 0.25, the difference between pre- and postoperative perimetry results showed a wide range, 1.4-6.2 dB. In conclusion, cataract induced different types of visual field defects. The general threshold increase due to low-grade cataract (VA > or = 0.3) could be compensated for by subtracting 1 dB from the measured value.
