Hall of Shame #1: The Hill of Vision is No Everest...

  1. Note the interesting Visual Field Index (VFI) of 74%. Misguided misanthropists like Artes et al. have complained that the VFI stays near 100% in fields developing early diffuse loss (http://www.iovs.org/content/early/2011/04/04/iovs.10-6905.full.pdf+html). Clearly they don't know what they're talking about - even though the 74% here seem a bit of an underestimate.

  2. Is this is one of those "perimetry athletes"...we've been hearing about? If they were wearing spandex and jogging on the spot during the test, that is a dead giveaway. Note however these athletes don't do so well at imaging (see here). Behold the flabby hamstring of structure-function science.
