Practical Perimetry

Perimetry is the systematic measurement of visual field function. It is primarily used in the diagnosis of glaucoma, but also for retinal diseases and neuro-ophthalmic disorders.

Authored by a multidisciplinary team of experts, this book is a practical guide to the use of perimetry in the diagnosis of eye disorders.

Divided into three sections, the book begins with an overview of automated perimetry, describing the normal visual field and comparing perimeters.

The following section discusses visual field interpretation, covering single visual field analysis, Octopus technology perimetry, and visual field progression.

The third section examines special situations including neuro-ophthalmic, retinal and macular disorders, structural and functional correlation in glaucoma, frequency doubling, and short wavelength automated perimetry; with the final chapters providing commentary on recent advances, integrating technologies, care and maintenance of perimeters, and the history of perimetry.
