Cambridge University Hospitals offer new web-based visual field check
Eye specialists at Cambridge University Hospitals have developed a web-based solution that they say can help accurately classify mild, moderate, and severe glaucomatous field defects.
Addenbrooke’s eye specialists have developed a new high-tech tool that could change the way glaucoma patients are treated worldwide.
Glaucoma is the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness and characterised by cupping of the optic nerve head and visual-field damage.
Determining if patients have mild, moderate, or severe disease is difficult and evaluating visual fields is time consuming, subjective, and ambiguous.
It hampers the medical management of patients, and makes it difficult for them to access the correct levels of social support.
