Editorial: Revolutionising glaucoma care in Africa: Online circular contrast perimetry
Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Sadly, most glaucoma cases in Africa areundetected, with late presentation resulting in irreversible vision loss. Visual field testing is critical to diagnoseand monitor glaucoma. Online circular contrast perimetry allows visual field testing on any computer or tabletwith no additional hardware, allowing rapid, low cost and easily available testing for glaucoma. Such technologyreduces the cost and expands the scope of glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring and could be used for populationscreening in Africa.
