Perimetry<\/strong> = examination of the visual field. It is a basic examination in the diagnosis of glaucoma<\/a>, and in assessing the treatment efficacy. Perimetry is also performed in suspected diseases of the retina and optic nerve and tract, and in neurological condition (strokes, tumors). The examination is conducted with a special device called a perimeter. Each eye is tested separately. No special preparation of the patient is required. However, patient concentration and cooperation is needed, since he\/she must signal the moment when light appears in the device. The analysis of one eye lasts about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
