The user interface has been designed to support efficient working with minimum time spent switching between options. The AP-50’s simple and intuitive design ensures that minimal training is required for the operator. The software can be operated via the touch screen or with mouse and keyboard, depending on the user’s preferences.

To better visualise possible vision field defects, the user can access multiple data presentation modes including: numeric values, pattern grade or grey scale absolute values in dB, as relative to hill of vision, age related changes, defect probability defect curve (Bebie graph) normalised values

The AP-50’s export/ import software is designed to allow the user transfer examination data between remote locations. Data may be exported in proprietary format or in compatible with EMR systems DICOM format. The import function accepts files stored in .xml and .pdf formats.

The regression analysis function allows the user to track changes in field of vision over time. Multiple examination results of the same patient can be used for the analysis. Regression curves can be presented in absolute dB values, in relation to hill of vision or age normative values or particular global parameters like PD or AD. Analysis of the data can be limited to a particular area of vision field e.g. periphery or centre, or can cover the entire tested field of vision.

For increased efficiency, the quick access menu reduces the number of parameters required to be entered before the examination may start. The user can predefine test types, so that they only have to select or enter patient data. This function reduces the overall test time and introduces standardisation to test procedures.

For patients with large defects in the visual field or fields significantly deviating from the standard, perimetry examinations can be time consuming. To improve the comfort for such patients and significantly reduce testing time; pattern calibration can be used. The results of earlier examinations of the patient’s eye can be used as a reference for the new test. This technique can significantly reduce test time.

Up to four patient examination results can be used for comparison, allowing better visualisation of the defect progress over time.

The automatic backup function can be programmed to happen periodically, to be saved in a location defined by the user. This function assures the safety of your patient records.
