Abstract

Adaptive programs have been developed, which adjust the spatial resolution of automatic perimeter measurement according to the presence or absence of visual field defects. Information obtained during the examination is fed back to an adaptively interacting algorithm controlling further examination steps. Using this strategy, defective areas are examined in detail but less time is wasted on regions of normal contrast sensivity.
