Visual fields of BCM patients evaluated with kinetic and static perimetry.

<p>(A) Light-adapted (LA) vertical sensitivity profiles from a normal subject and a BCM patient using achromatic (black line) and 600-nm (orange line) stimuli on a 10 cd.m^-2 white background, or 440-nm (blue line) stimuli on a yellow background (YB). (B) S-cone sensitivity profiles (filled circles) of the BCM patients using a 440-nm stimulus on YB compared to normal limits (gray = ±2SD). (C) LA white vertical sensitivity profiles of BCM patients (filled circles) compared to normal (gray). Blue line is the S-cone sensitivities from Panel C shifted according to the difference in effectiveness between the white and 440-nm stimuli. (D) LA 600-nm vertical sensitivity profiles of BCM patients (filled circles) compared to normal (gray). (E) Sensitivity differences between LA white and LA 600-nm stimuli are shown for the BCM patients (filled circles) and normal (unfilled circles). Predicted differences for rod (green dashes) and L/M cone (orange dashes) mediation are shown. (F) Dark-adapted (DA) vertical sensitivity profiles from a normal subject and a BCM patient using 500-nm (green line) and 650-nm (red line) stimuli. Above the results it is shown whether there is rod (R) or mixed (M) mediation, as determined by the differences between sensitivities to the stimuli. (G) DA 500-nm vertical sensitivity profiles of BCM patients (filled circles) compared to normal (gray). (H) DA 650 nm vertical sensitivity profiles of BCM patients (filled circles) compared to normal (gray). (I) Sensitivity differences between DA 500- and DA 650-nm stimuli are consistent with rod mediation (gray) at all locations except for the normal results with 650 nm at fixation. S, superior; I, inferior. (J) DA 650-nm sensitivities at fixation in normal and BCM. Normal 650-nm sensitivities are mediated by the L/M cones (C) whereas BCM sensitivities are mediated by the rods (R). Error bars are ±1SD.
