AB  - PURPOSE: Until now there has been no standardized, systemic approach to 
      diagnostics in patients with optic nerve head drusen (ONHD). This study compares 
      visual field (VF) results obtained with static automated perimetry (SAP) and 
      semi-automated kinetic perimetry (SKP) in patients with bilateral visible ONHD. 
      METHODS: Visual fields in 26 eyes (13 patients) with ONHD were obtained by 
      Humphrey Field Analyser II (SAP) and Octopus 101 (SKP) equipment and classified 
      by three masked observers. Pairs of VFs were considered equivalent if the 
      descriptions given by both methods matched. Individual reaction time (RT) was 
      assessed during SKP. Fifteen healthy volunteers were examined as control 
      material. RESULTS: Visual field pairs matched in 19 eyes (three normal VFs, 16 
      arcuate defects). In the remaining eight eyes SKP provided more information in 
      concentric constriction of the VF (two eyes) and SAP provided more information on 
      paracentral scotomas (five eyes). Sensitivity was 69% for SKP, 80% for SAP and 
      88% for both methods together. Mean RT assessed using SKP amounted to 909 ms in 
      eyes with ONHD and 568 ms in normal subjects (p < 0.0003). The median examination 
      duration was 13 mins with SKP and 11 mins with SAP (p = 0.05) in eyes with ONHD, 
      and 8 mins in control eyes (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: In clinical practice it is 
      necessary to perform both SAP and SKP in patients with ONHD because the VF 
      defects are diverse. In SKP, RT is prolonged in eyes with ONHD compared with 
      normal eyes and SKP takes longer than SAP in ONHD eyes.
