Synopsis

Practical Perimetry is a collective effort of clinicians and glaucoma specialists from around the globe. It is a practical primer on perimetry for general ophthalmologists, glaucoma surgeons, neuro-ophthalmologists, and trainees as well. The book is extensively illustrated with examples of real-life clinical scenarios and aims to help the clinicians choose the appropriate diagnostic protocol and achieve optimal results each time the visual field is performed, in terms of both reliability and interpretation. The book also elucidates the key points to look out for when using visual fields in the serial monitoring of patients. It is also an attempt to keep the clinician-scientist abreast of the latest developments in visual field charting, especially the novel platforms available for correlation of structure and function, and its place in the serial monitoring of both, glaucoma, and neuro-ophthalmological diseases.
