Automated perimetry is a diagnostic test that evaluates the visual field by mapping out areas of vision loss. It’s crucial in detecting conditions like glaucoma, where peripheral vision is gradually compromised. During the test, patients focus on a central point while responding to lights of varying intensity in their peripheral vision. The results help diagnose and monitor diseases affecting the optic nerve and visual pathways.
By detecting subtle changes in vision early on, automated perimetry enables timely intervention and management of progressive eye conditions. Regular screenings are particularly important for patients at risk of glaucoma or other optic nerve disorders. Monitoring visual field changes over time helps ophthalmologists adjust treatment plans and assess the effectiveness of therapies, ultimately preserving as much vision as possible.
