Abstract

Glaucoma is one of the important causes for irreversible blindness all over the world and automated perimetry is the current gold standard to diagnose glaucoma and its management. The main aim of this book is to make the ophthalmologist to understand the basic fundamentals of automated static perimetry, to select the most appropriate test to the clinical condition he is dealing with, to understand the visual field printouts and to interpret the printouts without much difficulty. This will enable to identify a field defect; to decide whether the field defect is due to glaucoma and to make a reasonable decision whether the defect is progressive one or not. Offers an excellent approach to automated static perimetry using the Humphrey system. All the chapters from fundamentals of perimetry to interpretation, visual field loss in glaucoma, follow-up etc. are well covered with necessary visual field printouts. Moreover, the entire text has been updated, expanded and rearranged for better understanding .
