title: Automated perimetry in the management of glaucoma.
abstract: As optometry's role and responsibilities increase, so does our need to understand and utilize new technological advances to aid in our understanding and management of ocular conditions. Automated perimetry represents one such technological improvement that enhances our ability to detect and analyze the visual field changes associated with glaucoma. An understanding of the automated perimeter's abilities and limitations is needed to effectively incorporate it into the management of glaucoma.
