LAS VEGAS — Combining short-wavelength automated perimetry with “more efficient strategies,” such as SITA fast perimetry, can decrease testing time to less than 4 minutes, according to one researcher.
George Shafranov, MD, spoke on the use of advanced glaucoma perimetric techniques here at the Ocular Surgery News Symposium, Glaucoma: Improving Your Odds. He said that a new generation of short-wavelength automated perimetry is soon to become available, in which the stimulus size and brightness can be adjusted.
This technology may become available in the United States as soon as the end of the year, Dr. Shafranov said.
