Sumario:Computed perimetry remains the gold standard of visual field measurement among glaucoma patients. However, several emerging technologies, made possible by advances in computer programming, smartphone, tablet, or virtual reality, allow alternative means of visual function assessment. These new visual tests may one day have a useful complementary role in visual field testing and to bridge the gap between perimetry and daily experience. Many of these emerging technologies have distinct practical advantages over Ganzfield bowl-based computed perimetry. This paper outlines a discussion of some of these emerging techniques in visual function assessment in glaucoma. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Skalicky SE, Kong GYX.
