title: A computer-assisted instruction course to teach visual-field interpretation.
abstract: A computer-assisted instruction course for visual-field interpretation is described. A multiple-choice, question-and-answer drill was constructed using the VAX/VMS minicomputer and commercially available educational software. Medical and paramedical personnel can use this course to further their knowledge of visual-field description, the location of lesions which lead to visual-field defects, and the underlying processes that cause some of these defects. The advantages of using a particular computer terminal because of its graphic capabilities and screen layout are described. Other uses of computer-assisted instruction in ophthalmology are discussed and encouraged.
