Perimetry

What is the perimetry of the eye?

Perimetry is a diagnostic study that systematically measures the function of the visual field (the total area in which objects can be seen with peripheral vision while the eye is focused on a central point). The two most commonly used types of visual perimetry are Goldmann kinetic perimetry and automatic threshold static perimetry.

A visual field (perimetry) test will detect loss of peripheral vision and provide a map of this loss to help diagnose the cause of the loss.

What methods do our specialists use?

Highly qualified specialists of our clinic MN "Dobrobut" measure peripheral vision to assess glaucoma, neurological diseases, and retinal diseases. They use manual techniques (Goldmann perimetry) and computer-controlled automated techniques (Humphrey perimetry). In addition, they use the most advanced laser scanning device to analyze the structure of the optic nerve (Heidelberg retinal tomography).

When is eye perimetry performed?

Perimetry is performed to diagnose, control or correct the following eye diseases:

oncological lesions of the eyes (benign or malignant tumor);
dystrophic changes in the retina;
increased intraocular pressure (glaucoma);

traumatic lesions of the eyeball or retinal hemorrhage;
thermal or chemical damage to the eyes (burn disease);
hypertension;
optic nerve pathology;

traumatic brain injury;
brain tumors;
retinal detachment;
violation of cerebral circulation;
preventive examination.

What are the contraindications for perimetry?

alcoholic intoxication;

taking drugs before diagnosis;

mental illness;

mental retardation.

How is the computer perimetry procedure performed?

No prior preparation is required.

The patient sits down in front of the equipment and places the chin on a special support. The study is carried out for each eye separately. The patient needs to look forward at the luminous point. The device shows the patient in a chaotic manner marks with different illumination. The patient's task is to press a special button as the spot is fixed. Computer perimetry does not have any negative consequences for the patient's health.

The duration of the study is 10-15 minutes. All results are recorded on the computer, after which it processes the results.

In the clinics of MN "Dobrobut" in Kyiv, the study is carried out on the best modern perimeters, which guarantees the high quality of the results obtained.
