Goldman perimeter
The Goldman perimeter is a specialized visual testing device used in ophthalmology to measure a person's peripheral (side) vision. It helps detect issues that might not be evident in standard vision tests. Using lights that move in different directions, the Goldman perimeter allows eye care professionals to map the entire field of vision, including blind spots. This information is crucial for diagnosing conditions like glaucoma, retinal diseases, and brain tumors. Accurate assessment of peripheral vision can significantly impact treatment and management of various eye health issues.
