Figure 12: This figure is a single field analysis of a patient with a superior paracentral defect, extending to a partial arcu-
ate, from moderate POAG. The three indices of test reliability (1) show that this is a reliable visual field. Mean deviation (2)
is borderline with a value found in less than 2% of an age-matched population. Pattern standard deviation (3) is outside
normal limits with a value found in less than 0.5% of an age-matched population. The Glaucoma Hemifield Test (4) has been
flagged as outside normal limits, and the Visual Field Index (5) is 94%. The VFI is center-weighted which is why the value is
decreased more than it would be if the same cluster of missed points were localized peripherally instead of centrally.
