Campimetry

Campimetry is a method for determining the central field of vision. The patient gazes with one eye into a slit in the center of a black screen located two meters away from him. A small object at the end of a black rod begins to move across the screen, and the patient tells the doctor when he begins to see it. This is repeated several times in different directions, resulting in a map of the central visual field for the eye. Using campimetry, you can examine only part of a person’s visual field (central visual field), located within 30° in all directions.

Campimetry is a method for determining the central visual field, which is used to assess the condition of the patient’s visual system. This method allows you to determine how well the patient sees objects in the center of the visual field and how much control he can control his eye movements.

To perform campimetry, the patient must look at the center of the black screen on which the slit is located. The doctor moves a small object on the end of a rod across the screen, and the patient reports when he begins to see the object. This is repeated several times to build a map of the patient's central visual field.

Using campimetry, you can only check the central part of the visual field (CVF), which is located in the center of the eyeball. This method is more accurate than other vision testing methods, such as visual acuity testing or peripheral visual field testing.

Campimetry can be used to diagnose various diseases of the visual system, such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal dystrophy and others. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for these diseases.

In general, campimetry is an important method for diagnosing and monitoring the condition of the visual apparatus. It allows you to more accurately assess the patient’s condition and choose the right treatment.

Campimetry is a method for determining the central visual field and is one of the stages in the diagnosis of functional disorders of the organ of vision associated with pathology of the retina and optic nerve, as well as other disorders of oculomotor function. This method is used most often among studies of the visual apparatus. At the moment, many experts believe that it is this study that makes it possible to accurately diagnose and prescribe treatment, if necessary.

After examining the eyes using a video camera-monitor with biofeedback, a campimetric study pattern is constructed. To conduct the study, a digital monitor is used, occupying half of the vertical computer screen (25.1 cm) and placed at a distance of 50 cm from the subject, while the doctor and the subject are located perpendicular to the screen. The received data is displayed as a blink
