Computerized perimetry in glaucoma management. 1989

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Lund, Malmö General Hospital, Sweden.

The present article discusses the role of computerized perimetry in the management of patients with suspect and manifest glaucoma. The value of visual field examination is compared to that of inspection and photography of the optic disc and to some extent to retinal nerve fibre layer photography. Computerized perimetry is related to standard manual visual field examination. Guidelines are offered for the choice of test programs and for the interpretation of results.

D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata

D005901 Glaucoma An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
