“Dr. Muckley delivered a wonderful presentation titled “The Nuts and Bolts of Interpreting the Visual Field in Glaucoma. What Do I Really Need to Know?”

In this presentation she discussed
• Utilizing 10-2 visual fields in glaucoma care. 10-2 visual fields are helpful to monitor severe cases of glaucoma, those with reduced BCVA, and for patients that have historically been monitored with 24-2 as additional insight into their visual field loss
• How to use visual fields to educate patients on the effects of glaucoma by demonstrating the field results from the patient’s perspective
• Assuring that pupil size stays consistent for fields
• Having aphakic or high myopic patients wear their contact lenses for optimal vision to improve visual field reliability.
