1 New advances in Moorfields Motion Displacement Perimetry UKEGS Meeting Dublin 5 th December 28 Ciara Bergin WHAT IS THE MOORFIELDS MDT? A new perimetric computer-based test for detection of glaucoma CE 26 Collaborative Team: C Bergin, 1 DP Crabb, 1 GM Verdon-Roe, 2 MC Westcott, 2,3 AC Viswanathan, 1,2 FW Fitzke, 2 DF Garway-Heath 1,2 1 Department of Optometry and Visual Science, City University, London, UK 2 NIHR Biomedical Research Centre for Ophthalmology, Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, London, UK 3 St Bartholomew s Hospital, London, UK 32 line stimuli scaled by estimate of retinal ganglion cell density Moosavi et al Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 28:E-Abstract 183 Verdon-Roe GM et al Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 28:E-Abstract 1156 MOORFIELDS MDT TEST TASK EASILY UNDERSTOOD CE 26 look very steadily at central spot press the computer mouse each time you see a line move anywhere on the screen

2 Aims MOORFIELDS MDT THRESHOLD minimum discernable displacement measured in minutes of arc (min arc) To develop a fast reliable test strategy for casefinding Using response time as an indicator of reliability Adopting cluster analysis based spatial relationships between locations (Strouthidis et al, IOVS 26;47: ) to decide locations for retest Spatial Information & Function Spatial information: The best fit model:

3 Cluster analysis After 1 st circuit of ESTA: Update Results Array Calculate Probability Of True Damage PTD=High PTD=LOW Present + Record results Enhanced Suprathreshold Testing Algorithm Select points for retesting Test begins: Every location has a presentation at 95% level Select presentation Intensity No points selected for retesting ESTA Terminates Pilot Study Results: Test Duration 13 mild to moderate glaucoma patients 13 age matched controls 4 35 Test Duration Age: average 665yrs, range 31 to 77yrs 3 Mean Defect: average -41dB, range -5 to -88 db Examined with SAP SITA MDT ESTA MDT MultiSSp (2/3) Time (seconds) Glaucoma Patients Normal subjects ESTA Multisampling (2/3) SITA (SAP)

4 Agreement/disagreement: Case Example 1 Agreement/disagreement: Case Example 2 2 point fail criterion ESTA (MDT 32 locations) No healthy subjects failed 12/13 glaucoma subjects failed 2/3 MultiSampling (MDT 32 locations) 2/13 healthy subjects failed All glaucoma patients failed SITA (SAP 52 locations 995% PD map) No healthy subjects failed 12/13 glaucoma patients failed Conclusions ESTA offers a promising new strategy for casefinding In this pilot study it appears to offers significantly greater speed without loss of diagnostic precision Next step validation in a large cohort (32 patient & age matched controls)
