Diagnostic accuracy of the TsiogkaSpaeth grid test for detecting visual field defects in patients with glaucoma
The TS grid test offers a reliable, low-cost alternative for VF examination in glaucoma patients. This method could be advantageous in clinical settings with limited access to traditional testing equipment. The TS grid has limitations, including difficulty of fixation loss testing and ensuring the correct fixation distance. The test's self-administration reliability is uncertain, and some patients were unable to perform it. Other limitations concern the grid's design and the small sample size of the study.
