Proposed Research Projects Evaluate the accuracy of the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer compared to the MP-1 in patients with glaucoma Assess efficacy of anti-fatigue lenses in relieving eye strain and computer vision syndrome Compare effectiveness of medical versus surgical treatment for patients with open angle glaucoma 20

Slide 21

Begin with Background Questions What are methods of visual field testing in glaucoma? How is the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer used? Are topical medications effective in preventing or reducing visual field loss in patients with POAG or ocular hypertension? What are the ocular causes and potential treatment of visual fatigue and computer vision syndrome? 21
