Some aspects of the automation of perimetry. 1977

F Frankhauser, and J Spahr, and H Bebie

Manual perimetry has certain inherent limitations stemming from both the patient and the examiner. Automated perimetry, if properly developed, can offer the advantages of exact reproducibility of the examination strategy, accuracy achieved through averaging of repeated determinations, and systematic application of previous data to the current examination. The history, concepts and clinical practically of automated perimetry are discussed. Several systems capable of performing functions resembling human intellectual activity are commerically available; one, the OctopusTM, is described in detail.

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.
