    The Octopus automatic perimeter offers superior visual field examination results compared to the Goldman-perimeter. It provides higher precision and reproducibility, simplifying the ophthalmologist's task.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Technology

    Background:

    • Visual field examination is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring optic nerve disorders.
    • Conventional perimetry methods can be time-consuming and prone to variability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To statistically compare the performance of the Octopus automatic perimeter against the conventional Goldman-perimeter.
    • To evaluate the precision and reproducibility of perimetric measurements between the two instruments.

    Main Methods:

    • Statistical analysis of over 1000 visual field examinations.
    • Comparison of results obtained from the Octopus automatic perimeter and the Goldman-perimeter.

    Main Results:

    • The Octopus perimeter demonstrated higher precision, indicated by smaller measurement fluctuations.

  • The Octopus perimeter showed better reproducibility, evidenced by larger correlation coefficients.
  • The automatic perimeter was significantly easier to operate.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Octopus automatic perimeter is superior to the conventional Goldman-perimeter for visual field examinations.
    • The Octopus perimeter offers enhanced accuracy and reliability in perimetric measurements.
    • Ease of use of the Octopus perimeter reduces the burden on ophthalmologists.
