Why 31.5 ASB?
Originally used by Goldmann Perimeter
Adopted as standard by International Peremetric Society (International Council of Ophthalmology 1979)
Approximates minimum level for photopic or daylight vision
Photopic vision relies on retinal cone function instead of rods
Cones – Object Contrast Rods – Absolute Brightness
Small changes in pupil size or clarity of media do not have an effect on Contrast, so have little effect on test results.

The principle of temporal summation holds that for very short durations, the visibility of a stimulus increases with duration; when a stimulus lasts more than about 0.5 seconds, on the other hand, its visibility is basically independent of duration.
200 ms – long enough for visibility to not be affected by small variations in duration. But less than …
250 ms – latency for voluntary eye movement

Thresholding and Bracketing
What is thresholding?
Threshold (or Threshold Level) is the minimum amount of light that the eye can detect at a particular point on
the retina.
Bracketing is the process of determining the Threshold value.

Fixation Losses
During the test, the patient is told to Fixate (Stare) at a central LED. The instrument records the number of times that the patient lost this fixation and reports it on the printout.
Excessive fixation losses can render a test invalid.

The direction of a patient's gaze is determined in two steps: 1. A reflex marker is establishedon the corneal surface.

Gaze Tracking
Gaze tracking is initialized in the following manner when a selected test is first started:
The patient is asked to fixate on the central illumination LED. Gaze tracking turns on the reflex gaze IR LED located just under the diamond fixation pattern and turns off eye illumination briefly . Light from the LED is reflected off the cornea, and back to the IR sensitive camera.
![Page 45: Fundamentals of hfa perimetry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081422/558c0aded8b42a52568b4710/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Humphrey Field Analyzer II/IIiFundamentals of Perimetry
Measurement
Gaze Tracking
The majority of the cornea appears black except for the reflected spot. This image is digitized and stored in memory. The reflected spot is referred to as the reflex marker. Because the corneal surface is rounded, the reflex marker will move very little even if the patient's eye rotates, and thus the marker becomes a (relatively) stationary reference point.
![Page 46: Fundamentals of hfa perimetry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081422/558c0aded8b42a52568b4710/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Gaze Tracking
Next, the system locates the pupil center by illuminating the entire eye with the two IR LEDs located either in the bottom of the bowl, or in the trial lens holder (when in the raised position). The iris appears bright with a dark pupil. This image is also digitized and stored in memory. It is the relationship between the location of the reflex marker on the cornea and the location of the pupil center that determines fixation.
![Page 47: Fundamentals of hfa perimetry](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081422/558c0aded8b42a52568b4710/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Humphrey Field Analyzer II/IIiFundamentals of Perimetry
Measurement
Gaze Tracking
During a test, each time a spot is projected into the bowl, the locations of the reflex marker and the center of the pupil are compared to the initial images stored in memory. If the patient is fixating correctly, the positional relationship between the reflex marker and the pupil center will be the same as that of the stored images. If the patient is off fixation, the positional relationship between the reflex marker and the pupil center will be different. The greater the misalignment, the higher the mark on the Gaze Graph.

Gaze Graph
Upward spikes indicate that the patient has lost fixation;• a spike that reaches the top horizontal line (or higher) indicates 10 degrees (ormore) off fixation;• a spike that extends halfway to the top line indicates 5 degrees off fixation.P Downward spikes indicate as follows:• a short spike downward indicates that the gaze at that time cannot bedetermined by the software.• a long spike downward indicates that the patient blinked at the time fixationwas checked.The absence of marks on the graph indicates proper fixation.
