Glaucoma assessment by microcomputer.
An automated system for comprehensively monitoring glaucoma patients is described. This economic and practical microcomputer data system has been designed to be thoroughly 'clinician oriented' through the collaborative efforts of ophthalmological and computer specialists. It incorporates novel and efficient methods for transferring both automated and manually recorded perimetry data into analysable digital form. The system is inexpensive, simple to use, maintains safe records, allows thorough analysis of patient data, and can considerably reduce the administrative load on ophthalmological clinics.
