The article discusses the challenges associated with visual field (VF) testing and the potential solution offered by the Tempo Binocular Perimeter. VF testing is crucial for evaluating vision loss and monitoring diseases like glaucoma, but it can be time-consuming, uncomfortable, and unreliable. The Tempo Binocular Perimeter is a tabletop device that addresses these issues by providing a compact and ergonomic alternative to traditional VF analyzers. It offers the same accuracy and sensitivity as standard automated perimetry (SAP) but performs 39% faster. The device has received positive feedback from patients and technicians, and it is suitable for various types of practices. It can be used with both children and patients with disabilities, and it is portable for off-site examinations. The Tempo can be connected to Topcon's Harmony Clinical Image and Data Management Solution for efficient reporting. While there may be a transitionary period when switching to the Tempo, it ultimately provides reliable and efficient VF results. Overall, the article suggests that the Tempo Binocular Perimeter is a valuable tool for improving VF testing and patient experience. [Extracted from the article]
