Automated Perimetry for Diagnosis and Follow-up of Glaucoma
At Chugh Eye Surgery Centre, we utilize Automated Perimetry to accurately assess and monitor the visual field. This test is essential for diagnosing glaucoma and tracking its progression over time, ensuring timely and effective treatment.
What is Automated Perimetry?
Automated Perimetry is a specialized diagnostic test that measures your peripheral (side) vision. It helps detect even minor vision loss caused by glaucoma, often before you notice any symptoms yourself.
How Does Automated Perimetry Work?
During the test, you are asked to focus on a central point while lights of varying intensity flash in different areas of your visual field. You respond each time you see a light, allowing the machine to map your vision accurately.
When is Automated Perimetry Recommended?
- Initial diagnosis of glaucoma
- Routine monitoring of glaucoma patients
- Assessing visual field loss due to other optic nerve conditions
- Evaluating the effectiveness of glaucoma treatment
