Comments and Conclusions The maia™ goes beyond traditional visual field testing by also obtaining an SLO image of the fundus and monitoring eye position 25 times per second. Any visual field (within the central 20 degrees at present) can be created by clicking the desired locations to be tested on the SLO frozen image.

The same 10-2 program but obtained with the maia™. If one mentally flips one of the visual fields, the results are grossly similar. However, with the Humphrey Zeiss, only 5 points have a 0 sensitivity but with the maia™ .16 points have a 0 (or below) sensitivity. It is unclear at this time

The same 10-2 program but obtained with the maia™. It is important to recognize that the visual field is "flipped" along the horizontal axis on the maia™ image so that a superior field loss is depicted in the inferior retina. This flip on the maia™ allows for easy comparison of the retinal/nerve fiber
