We evaluated the clinical value of Tendency Oriented Perimetry (TOP) built in the Octopus 1-2-3 perimeter. A total of 113 eyes were tested, comprising 40 eyes of 40 normal persons, 9 eyes of 9 cases with ocular hypertension and 64 eyes of 40 cases with glaucoma. All the eyes were also tested by program G1X of the perimeter using Normal Strategy (NS). The testing time with TOP averaged 13.1% of that with NS. There was no difference in mean defect between TOP and NS. The loss variance was significantly lower for TOP than NS (p<0.0001). The findings show that perimetry with TOP results in shorter testing time and that TOP is more efficient than NS. TOP has the disadvantage in describing the shape of the visual field.
