Abstract
Kinetic perimetry was performed on 12 normal [human] subjects. The perimetric results obtained with a Goldmann perimeter by 12 different investigators were statistically analyzed. Planimetry of areas outlined by a given isopter was performed to reduce the amount of data. This led to a reduction in SD of almost 50%. The statistical significance in field changes depended on individual variation and testing frequency. If SD are calculated in dB, the variation becomes independent of given isopters. SD can be influenced by the investigator; it may be increased by a factor of almost 2. Test procedures should be standardized by automation; SD will not necessarily be lower with computerized perimetric methods.
