Table 1.

The ten patient cases where panel predicted visual field were consistent with SVOP results. Patients with abnormal visual fields are listed before those with normal fields. Details included are (1) Patient demographics (diagnosis and procedures prior to SVOP test and age at SVOP test), (2) Ophthalmology assessment outcomes (visual acuity and confrontation and Goldmann perimetry if attempted), (3) Neuroimaging outcomes (a scan image and subsequent panel predicted visual field), and (4) The SVOP test outcomes (SVOP plot and visual field description).

Abbreviations: VA (visual acuity), NPL (no perception of light), PL (perception of light), NF1 (Neurofibromatosis type 1), SVOP (Saccadic Vector Optokinetic Perimetry).
