Purpose
To investigate the time taken for Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA)-standard (SITA-s) data management from first
stimulus to printed results.
Methods
Prospective case series. Twenty-one subjects underwent visual field testing of the right eye with both SITA-s and Humphrey
Full Threshold (FTT). The order of the tests (SITA-s and FTT) were randomized for each subject.
Results
The time-to-finish calculation and saving was significantly longer for SITA-s (41%, p<0.001) than FTT. The patient testing time and total testing time was 47% and 39% shorter with SITA than with FTT, respectively
(p<0.001).
Conclusion
The data processing of the SITA-s compromises by 8% (p<0.001) some of the advantages of the faster patient testing time.
