Static perimetry, made using Humphrey and Octopus expert class perimeters, is called the standard automated perimetry (SAP); and for more than 30 years, it is the “gold standard” in assessing the visual field in glaucoma diagnosis. Currently, many computer perimeters appeared on the Russian market. The article reviews modern methods of computerized perimetry which are most widespread in our country and presents their comparative characteristics. (For citation: Serdyukova SA, Simakova IL. Computer perimetry in the diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma. Ophthalmology Journal. 2018;11(1):54-65. doi: 10.17816/OV11154-65).
Results. FDT-perimetry appeared to be the shortest, easiest test and most comfortable for tested persons. Perimetry using Tomey AP-1000, Pericom and HFA II was more time-consuming and more difficult to perform. Repeated results of all four methods were better than the first one due to the "learning curve" effect, and showed different variability. conclusion. To obtain reliable computerized perimetry results, taking into account the possible "learning curve" effect, we recommend repeating the perimetric test at least 2-3 times at same conditions. It is important for the selected perimetric test to be easy to perform, comfortable for persons to be tested, and quite fast to perform.
