Visual field test-Perimetry-Microperimetry Microperimetry assesses the macular function in a similar way to perimetry. However, fundus imaging is performed at the same time. This allows for fundus tracking to ensure accurate stimulus placement. Thus, microperimetry provides enhances the retest reliability, enables prec...
