This book is meant as an introduction to and primer on clinical perimetry, particularly computerized perimetry using the Humphrey Field Analyzer. It is not meant to replace classical textbooks on the subject, but rather is intended as a brief overview for the ophthalmic resident and as a reference on current Humphrey perimetry for the busy ophthalmic practitioner.
Because of its purpose, this primer does not follow the outline of most textbooks. For example, the bare essentials of present-day practical perimetry are covered in a very condensed form in just a few pages in Chapter 1.
