In the last ten years, clinicians’expectations regarding visual 􀀂ield testing and analysis have signi􀀂icantly increased. In today’s busy and fastpaced clinics, maximizing the trade-off between result accuracy, test duration and the effort required from both the patient and the examiner is more important than ever before.  \nWhile the basic testing principles used in perimetry today have remained largely unchanged since the introduction of the manual Goldmann perimeter in 1946, Octopus perimetershave pioneered numerous important changes in perimetry. The development of the 􀀂irst automated perimeter in 1974, the Octopus 201, by Fankhauser, Spahr und Jenni, opened the door for automated perimetric testing as we know it today. In addition, the Octopus perimeter’s introduction of semi-automation in kinetic perimetry over 20 years ago has facilitated kinetic testing.  \nSince then, knowledge on ho","cbCaiuHJFe8xnXc8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuHJFe8xnXc8","pdf",21259788,291,"English","# Preface\n## Authors & Contributors","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Visual Field Digest 8th edition?\",\"answer\":\"It is intended to make visual field testing accessible and practical for clinicians, residents, researchers, examiners, students, and readers with limited prior perimetry knowledge.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book relate perimetry to Octopus perimeter devices?\",\"answer\":\"It explains how Octopus perimeters introduced important changes, including automated perimetry and semi-automation in kinetic testing, and how these features support interpretation.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of challenges does the book focus on in clinical visual field testing?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights the possible pitfalls associated with visual field testing in clinical practice and provides guidance on how to avoid and overcome them.\"}]","VISUAL FIELD DIGEST - 8th edition - A guide to perimetry and the Octopus perimeter | PDF",1790762974,733]
