25 sie 2023 · Measurement of visual field or perimetry: The measurement of the retina's sensitivity to light is shown at a given location in the visual field printout. The sensitivity of the retina of a healthy individual is highest at the fovea and then reduces towards the periphery.
A visual field test is an eye examination that can detect dysfunction in central and peripheral vision which may be caused by various medical conditions such as glaucoma, stroke, pituitary disease, brain tumours or other neurological deficits.
4 kwi 2023 · A visual field test measures your peripheral vision, or how well you can see above, below and to the sides of something you’re looking at. It’s also called a perimetry test. Visual field testing is important for many conditions, including glaucoma.
What is automated perimetry? Here, we’ll only talk about the Humphrey visual field perimeter, which is used for 99% of visual field tests. It’s an automated, static perimeter (unlike Goldmann kinetic perimetry which requires a human operator, and uses a moving target).
The visual field index is a staging index designed to correspond to ganglion cell loss, that is, 100% represents normal fields and 0% represents blind fields. The mean deviation represents the degree of departure of the whole field's average values, from age-adjusted normal values.
Visual field testing can be performed by various methods, including confrontation technique, Amsler grid, tangent screen, kinetic perimetry, or static perimetry. This review will focus primarily on standard automated perimetry (SAP).
