title: [Practical experiences with the Octopus automatic perimeter (author's transl)].
abstract: A statistical analysis comparing the results of more than 1000 visual field examinations carried out with the automatic perimeter Octopus and with a conventional Goldman-perimeter, clearly demonstrates the superiority of the automatic instrument in many respects: Apart from a higher precision of the perimetric measurements (smaller fluctuations), a better reproducibility of the results (larger correlation coefficients) is noticed. Due to great ease of operation of the automatic perimeter, the ophthalmologist is discharged from the time-consuming task of perimetric examinations.
