Patent ID: 8425039

Claim:
A perimetric method for measuring a visual field of an eye, wherein the perimetric method is carried out with an ophthalmological device that comprises an apparatus for data processing that is connected with a data base, wherein the data base includes data sets of visual fields, wherein the method comprises the steps of: (a) dividing a retina of the eye into points that represent the visual field of the eye; (b) exposing the points of the retina that represent the visual field to optical stimuli of a defined intensity; (c) using the apparatus for data processing to calculate a reaction to the optical stimuli as a measurement result, wherein at least two predefined points are measured, wherein the at least two predefined points each lie in anatomically independent nerve fibre regions and are in a statistically significant relation to each other; and (d) deriving a measured visual field of the eye from the measurement result calculated by the apparatus for data processing and from the data sets of the data base.
