title: A visual field quantification system for the Goldmann Perimeter.
abstract: We have developed a visual field quantification system that can accurately quantify the measurement results by the Goldmann Perimeter (GP). This system calculates the plural indexes introduced in published papers. In recent years, several isopter quantification methods have been proposed. In these methods, the isopters are digitized and the data are input into a computer, after which a computer program evaluates the changes in the isopters quantitatively. However, each program is only able to evaluate private indexes. We have developed a system that quantifies data using multiple methods. This system used five methods that have been introduced in published papers. With this system, a physician can analyze GP data with multiple methods and can diagnose diseases accurately. We have already input about 2500 GP recording papers into the computer by this system. We then calculated the plural indexes, and visualized the temporal changes in the perimetry.
