- We have examined the hypothesis that normal and only normal isopters of the central visual field are elliptical, except for random deviations. Statistical methods capable of recognizing small deviations from elliptical shape have been developed. Theses methods have been devised to meet the special demands of clinical testing of visual fields and require only simple calculations. The qualities of these methods were examined by theoretical analysis, by large-scale simulations, and by experimental comparison with subjective evaluations. The new methods proved very useful in these examinations. A clinical study using a servo-equipped Goldman perimeter demonstrated that normal central isopters are elliptical enough for the proposed test characteristic to be of practical value in clinical work. The method allows an objective recognition of abnormal isopters with a high degree of sensitivity.
