Abstract
The Henson Central Field Screener is a recently marketed, relatively inexpensive campimeter with semi-automated registration of responses. The strategy used is suprathreshold, eccentricity-compensated, multiple stimulus static perimetry. The clinical usefulness of this apparatus was tested in a number of glaucoma patients, glaucoma suspects and normals, as well as in subjects with other ocular disorders, for whom stable visual fields as tested with other perimeters were available. The results obtained with the Henson Screener are generally in agreement with the known defects. The apparatus has some drawbacks, however.
