Abstract

The Goldmann perimeter is the most common device providing standardized manual exploration of the peripheral visual field in clinical practice. It presents targets on a bowl set 33 cm away from the cornea of the patient, with a background illumination of 31.5 apostilbs (asb). The choice of target size and brightness and its presentation are under the moment-to-moment command of the perimetrist.
