Automated Static Perimetry

This new publication deals almost exclusively with automated perimetry. Emphasis is on technical aspects of administering the automated test with skill; as well as on skillful interpretation of the result based on an understanding of the text. Automated Static Perimetry is a thorough, pragmatic, and up-to-date resource for those learning perimetry for the first time in a clinical setting where automated perimetry predominates; as well as a valuable resource for individuals converting to the use of automated perimetry from manual methods.

Features:
* Thoroughly updated revision of an essential clinical topic--computerized perimetry
* New printouts/illustrations showing the latest instrumentation
* New O.D. `Consulting Editor' to capture the optometry market
* Up-to-the-minute discussion of the latest interactive strategies in perimetry
* Practical `how to' approach to developing technical and interpretive skills
* Emphasis on the latest technology of the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer, the most widely used automated perimeter in the U.S. Plus coverage of other commonly used instruments.
* Latest technological developments in automated static perimetry are represented in this edition. New techniques such as SITA (Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm) and SWAP (Short Wavelength Automated Perimetry) which are currently being tested, will be evaluated and discussed in terms of how to make the best clinical use of this new information.
* Content from previous edition will be updated:
* In Part I the content will be updated and some portions of the text will be rewritten for clarity. A lot of attention will be paid to deleting outdated material and illustrations. About ? the old printouts will be replaced with new printouts from the latest instrumentation.
* Part II chapters will be thoroughly reorganized to e more clinically useful with special guidelines like (when to use each of the various test strategies; how to arrive at a clinical diagnosis; and how pitfalls to watch out for).
* Part III will contain information on how to use the older instrument (HFA I) and the never instrument (HFA II). It will also show the perimetrist how to perform tests and get results they did not know were possible (i.e., how to make a copy of the field for another doctor).
