Visual Field Test for Children with Glaucoma or Optic Nerve Abnormalities

This study is testing a new way to make visual field (VF) tests more engaging for children aged 5 to 8 years old who have glaucoma or optic nerve problems. VF tests check your peripheral (side) vision. Currently, these tests can be hard for children to focus on, making the results less reliable. This study compares the usual VF test to one that uses cartoon videos and character voices to help children pay attention. The goal is to see if these changes make the test results more consistent, which would help doctors better understand and treat vision loss in children. The study is looking to enroll 20 participants.

Study design
This study is an interventional study with an unclear status, planning to enroll 20 participants aged 5-8 years old.
What's involved
You would need to complete VF testing at two study visits, about one week apart.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, Humphrey Visual Field Test-Retest Variability, is measured at 1 week.

Seen previously in the clinics at Nova Southeastern University's The Eye Care Institute with a diagnosis for glaucoma suspect or optic nerve abnormalities
Able and willing to complete VF testing at 2 study visits about a week apart

What this trial measures

  • Humphrey Visual Field Test-Retest Variability of Mean Deviation scores (dB)1 week

    Within subject, the investigators will determine the coefficient of variation in the mean deviation scores obtained at the two sessions a week apart (dB). The investigators will test for significant differences between subjects who receive the intervention versus the usual care control group for the test-retest variability.
