Automated perimetry is the most important functional test in glaucoma patients. This course will teach which programs and strategies to use, how to instruct patients and avoid artifacts, and how to use the available software to interpret worsening of visual field defects and calculate rates of change. Finally, consensus statements will be provided on the usefulness of non‐conventional perimetric tests.
