Purpose / Easyfield

Portable automated perimetry devices play an important role in glaucoma screening; by design they function reliably even outside of traditional eye clinics, reaching out, therefore, to an increased number of patients. Moreover, they can be successfully used in regions with poor medical coverage or in mobile screening stations. Our objective was to combine fast threshold examination strategies with an advanced software for interpreting visual field data based on expert systems, while fully maintaining the portability of the device.
To achieve our goal, CLIP (Continuous Light Increment Perimetry) strategy and GSP (Glaucoma Staging and Progression) software were for the first time implemented on the hand control unit of the Oculus Easyfield perimeter. This setup not only enables shortened threshold examinations during glaucoma screenings, but also offers a novel possibility to interpret the visual field data. With no further need of a dedicated computer system, this setup provides us a portable device with extended glaucoma screening abilities.

Hey, Good Lookin'

This new perimeter may turn a few heads, but it has a lot more to offer than just good looks

The other day, I was thinking about Kleenex. Ever notice how all tissues have acquired the generic name "Kleenex" because of the success of one of the products in that line of facial tissues? Think about it - some guy figures that we need a disposable hanky to wipe our noses for convenience and hygiene, and an institution is born! And like most ideas, it's copied and improved upon.

Tina Romanay gives an assessment of the Oculus Easyfield and describes some cases of its use on patients in City University's new clinic. Of particular interest is whether it may address some of the challenges of the disability discrimination legislation.
