The Open Perimetry Initiative: A framework for cross-platform development for the new generation of portable perimeters

AI Generated Summary*

Launched in 2010 to lower barriers to visual field research, the Open Perimetry Initiative maintains open-source tools. The Open Perimetry Interface offers drivers so one test implementation runs on Octopus 900, Compass, AP-7000 and IMO perimeters, subject to manufacturer permission, and on Android phones in Cardboard-compatible headsets via a PhoneHMD driver. The revised visualFields package (version 1.0.1) bundles normative datasets and generates deviation values, probability maps and PoPLR analyses. The opiApp frontend manages participant records, builds custom grids and runs full threshold, 4-2 staircase, MOCS and ZEST procedures. A full-field example reaching 80 degrees temporally and 50 degrees nasally, with norms from 98 healthy eyes, illustrates the approach; 66 citations from 12 countries were counted by February 2022.
