Outline of Final Research Achievements

Goldmann manual kinetic perimetry (Goldmann MKP) requires higher quality training for proficiency than other ophthalmology testing. The purpose of this study was to develop a system to quantitatively evaluate the examiner's skill in Goldmann MKP and to introduce this system into the education of optometrists.The results of Goldmann MKP were successfully evaluated quantitatively. Furthermore, online education for visual field testing was conducted for the first time in Japan using the software in this system.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究ではGP検査中の検者の視標操作の記録から，検者が検出した視野領域を立体角単位で定量的に評価することができ，さらにそれを視野検出精度の指標として視能訓練士教育への導入に成功した。従来，GP検査で検出された視野の精度は検者が手書きで描出した等感度曲線の広さや形状で定性的に判定されてきたため，本研究成果は臨床的にも教育的にもGP検査の結果やその精度をより客観的に示す手法として応用することができる。
