Description
Summary:The perimetric concept and the technical construction of the Ocuplot were evaluated. The mechanical and electrical construction of the instrument we tested was poor. The manufacturer claims improvements in newer specimens. We examined 87 eyes of patients and normal subjects with the Ocuplot and learned that the test-strategy is not efficient and yields a high proportion of false positive results. Clinical results of the patient-examinations are presented.
