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 Perimetryis 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. * Includes new printouts and illustrations showing the latest field tests and analyses * Provides up-to-the-minute dialogue on the latest interactive strategies in perimetry * Relies on a practical "how to" approach to developing technical and interpretive skills NEW TO THIS EDITION * Includes new techniques such as SITA (Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm) and SWAP (Short Wavelength Automated Perimetry) * Emphasizes the latest technology of the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer, the most widely used perimeter in the US * Provides clinical guidelines to determine: which testing strategies are appropriate; how to arrive at a clinical diagnosis; and how to avoid pitfalls * Features new 2-color design and useful callouts containing supplemental information * Includes new appendices containing a glossary and a list of abbreviations 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 A lot of attention will be paid to deleting outdated material and illustrations.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).
