Oculokinetic perimetry (OKP) is a simple, inexpensive technique which was introduced primarily to promote more widespread use of visual field screening for glaucoma. The effectiveness of unsupervised OKP screening was evaluated using 145 non-glaucomatous patients and 64 patients with previously undiagnosed primary open angle glaucoma. Glaucoma cases were validated by the extended 132 point program on the Henson CFS2000 instrument. Both sample populations were representative of patients presenting for primary vision care. The effectiveness of the 26 point OKP test was compared with the 26 point Henson screening program. The results suggest that, in contrast to the Henson screening test (sensitivity = 85.1%, specificity = 93.8%), unsupervised OKP screening (sensitivity = 25.0%, specificity = 93.6%) has limited effectiveness for detecting glaucomatous visual field defects.
