Abstract

The perimeter Fieldmaster 101 has been applied to 178 eyes in comparison with a Tuebingen and a Goldmann perimeter. The Fieldmaster allows for a fast and relatively accurate screening test in the detection-phase of perimetry, independently of the skill of the perimetrist. This instrument missed only 2.6% of all pathological fields found by the Goldmann perimeter, and 10% of defective fields taken with the Tuebingen perimeter. In one third of the abnormal findings of the Fieldmaster the defects were even more realistic than in the plots of the Goldmann perimeter, as proven by the static and kinetic fields of the Tuebingen perimeter. The abilities of the Fieldmaster in the assessment-phase of perimetry are limited. Program-operated perimeters like the Fieldmaster are time-saving, but do not replace a perimetrist, especially in the psychological care of patients.
