Accurate and reliable assessment of the results of automated perimetry are of primary importance in the management of glaucoma, both for diagnosis and for the measurement of progression. This aspect of the Course, designed for young ophthalmologists, will give specific, practical guidance on how to derive the maximum amount of useful information from a single visual field test result or from a longitudinal series of results. A simple mnemonic will be described to ensure that no important elements of the analysis are missed.
