Re: DE>EN Fingerperimetrisch

[Guest guest]

I think it means that the physician faces the patient and wiggles with his

fingers at the borders of the visual field (asking the patient whether he can

see the fingers) for a rough determination of a visual field defect.

[Guest guest]

This makes a lot of sense to me and is what I would have imagined, but what

threw me was the definition I had found that explained that it is done touching

the skin of the face .... maybe ther is

something magical about the distance represented by the size of a hand in

different positions as regards the natural field of vision?

Thank you very much Annie! HOW did you find this stuff? No matter how I searched

on google, I did not come up with ANYTHING for finger perimetry!

Thanks very much in advance for solving that additional mystery, and in

retrospect for solving the first one!

Hi Dee,

Glad I could help.

I used Copernic and Google (key words: perimetric OR perimetry techniques/

perimetry + finger.

Hi Dee,

I know you're done with this now, but I thought I'd reply with a

little side note (that you may already know). I'm in the middle of

translating a book on ophthalmology. One test for checking peripheral

vision is called the confrontation technique. The dr. faces the

patient and moves his fingers out towards the side, and the patient

indicates when he can no longer see the dr.'s fingers. There's no

touching involved, though. I hadn't heard of finger perimetry before,

so I learned something new!
