Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To assess the reliability of standard automated perimetry in a real-life cohort of glaucoma patients and suspects wearing face masks due to the COVID-19 pandemic in a large German eye hospital.

Abstract: METHODS: Data of 160 eyes of 83 glaucoma patients and suspects who received at least one visual field examination and optical coherence tomography for glaucoma monitoring in 2018, 2019 and 2020 were included. Mean visual field defect and the rates of false-positive and false-negative responses between tests without (2019) and tests with a face mask (2020) were compared. Mean retinal nerve fibre layer thickness and the minimum rim width of Bruch's membrane opening served as a control for glaucoma progression.

Abstract: RESULTS: No statistically significant difference between visual fields without a face mask, and examinations with a face mask could be detected for mean defect (p = 0.075), rate of false-positives (p = 0.7) and rate of false-negatives (p = 0.16).

Abstract: CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that protective face mask wear does not impair the quality and reliability of standard automated perimetry in a real-life cohort of glaucoma patients and glaucoma suspects.

戴口罩对青光眼患者和疑似青光眼患者标准自动视野测量可靠性的影响：一项回顾性纵向研究。

摘要：目的：评估德国一家大型眼科医院对现实生活中因COVID-19大流行而戴口罩的青光眼患者和疑似患者进行标准自动验光的可靠性。摘要：方法：纳入2018年、2019年和2020年接受至少一次视野检查和光学相干层析成像青光眼监测的83例青光眼患者和疑似患者160只眼的数据。比较不戴口罩（2019年）和戴口罩（2020年）的平均视野缺损以及假阳性和假阴性反应率。平均视网膜神经纤维层厚度和布鲁氏膜开口最小边缘宽度作为青光眼进展的对照。摘要：结果：不戴口罩两组患者的视野差异无统计学意义，戴口罩检查的平均缺陷率（p = 0.075）、假阳性率（p = 0.7）和假阴性率（p = 0.16）均可检出。摘要：结论：我们的数据表明，在青光眼患者和疑似青光眼患者的现实队列中，防护口罩的佩戴不会影响标准自动验光的质量和可靠性。
