title: [Automation of mass screening for glaucoma].
abstract: An experimental model (mock-up) of automated complex "Glaucoma" has been produced for mass population screening. It comprises five ophthalmologic instruments: for history data collection; for visual acuity examining; for examining the visual fields limits (perimeter); for determination of paracentral sites within visual field (campimeter), and finally a device for intraocular tension measurement. A special computer serves to control the operation of these instruments, collection, processing and display of information. A set including magnetic recorder, projector and synchronizer provides instructions for patients. The latter were examined following special lecture explaining the purpose of investigation, operation rules for these instruments and sequence of procedures.
