INTER-EXAMINER RELIABILITY IN THE DETERMINATION OF LATERAL VISUAL FIELD

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO ASSESS INTER-EXAMINER RELIABILITY IN THE USE OF THE BAUSCH AND LOMB PERIPHERAL VISION-TESTING INSTRUMENT. FOUR DRIVER LICENSE EXAMINERS MEASURED LATERAL VISUAL FIELD ON 25 SUBJECTS UNDER TWO ILLUMINATION CONDITIONS UTILIZING A VARIATION OF THE METHOD OF LIMITS. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION INDICATED (1) THAT INTER-EXAMINER RELIABILITY WAS EXTREMELY HIGH, AND (2) TECHNIQUE OF TAKING THE MEASUREMENT AND/OR ILLUMINATION DID NOT APPEAR TO SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE INTER-EXAMINER RELIABILITY.
