Purpose: In order to automate fundus perimetry, which is usually laborious because of the many manual operations and the frequent eye movements, we developed a new fundus perimeter with an automated measuring system using computer technology.Methods: This fundus perimeter consists of an infrared fundus camera, a fundus-pursuit unit, and a target-display unit. Both units are personal computers operating on Windows(TM). After presetting the measuring points on the fundus, perimetry is automatically performed. The fundus-pursuit unit recognizes and pursues the fundus reference region while calculating its coordinates in real time during perimetry. The target-display unit corrects the stimulus coordinates with data from the fundus-pursuit unit and even if eye movement occurs, automatically displays the stimulus targets at the correct retinal point that had been preset.Results: Fundus perimetry can be automatically and precisely performed with this automated measuring system. It shortens the duration of the examination and frees the operator from the lengthy and laborious manual operations during perimetry.Conclusions: This automated measuring system will make fundus perimetry easier for the operator, as well as more popular for clinical use.
