Abstract Purpose:Non-organic visual loss often lacks specific findings, making its diagnosis difficult. Here we report two cases in which use of the monocular and binocular visual field tests with imo®(binocular random mode)was useful for diagnosing non-organic visual loss.

Cases:Case 1 was a teenage boy with a left visual field defect. In the patient's first visit to Kumamoto University Hospital, the visual acuity test, physical examination, critical flicker frequency measurement, and optical coherence tomography(OCT)showed no apparent abnormalities in either eye. The Goldmann perimetry(GP)test suggested an enlarged Mariotte blind spot in the left eye. Five days after the first visit, the best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)in the left eye decreased to counting fingers, and the GP test showed concentric restriction in the left eye only. The binocular visual field test with imo® revealed a left homonymous hemianopia-like visual field defect, which diverged from the GP test results. Seven days after the first visit, the Humphrey field analyzer(HFA)test showed the cloverleaf-like defect pattern and a tunnel visual field in the left eye. The patient's BCVA in the left eye later improved to 1.2 without medical treatment. Case 2 was a man in his twenties with a right visual field defect. The examination performed at Kumamoto University Hospital showed no apparent abnormalities in either eye on the visual acuity test or critical flicker frequency measurement. The OCT test revealed bilateral mild thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer. The HFA test indicated temporal hemianopia in the right eye only. The binocular visual field test with imo® showed a right homonymous hemianopia-like visual field defect, which diverged from the HFA test results. Magnetic resonance imaging conducted in both cases showed no apparent abnormalities.

Conclusion:The discrepancy between the results of the monocular visual field test using GP or HFA and those of the binocular visual field test using imo® may be useful diagnosing of non-organic visual loss.
