Impact of new and emerging instrumentation in optometry.
Traditional tests of vision emphasize visual acuity, visual fields, and testing for hereditary color vision defects. New instrumentation for testing vision has proliferated due to advances in our knowledge of the visual system, the availability of new technologies, the introduction of computers into practice, and the expanded scope of optometric practice. Each is discussed in relation to the subsequent symposium papers by other authors.
