iCare COMPASS perimeter is easy to use and its autofocus feature obviates the need for trial lenses.

iCare COMPASS perimeter user-friendly interface makes the entire testing process seamless and comfortable. The device’s efficient operation (auto focus, no dilation of pupil needed) ensures that each examination is quick and very suitable for clinical routine even with demanding patients.

iCare COMPASS perimeter provides high-quality visual field testing with a retinal tracker and true color fundus images in a single examination. I appreciate having its super-imposed images that provide an overlap of areas with depressed sensitivity and corresponding damaged retinal areas.

iCare COMPASS perimeter is used at our clinic for visual field tests for glaucoma patients and in context of clinical trials. The device’s ability to create a comprehensive visual field map based on active retinal tracking is instrumental in order to create a personalized treatment plan for patients and reliable visual field loss screening. In combination with visual field testing the device delivers three imaging modalities in order to visualize the retinal anatomy allowing judgment of retinal defects simultaneously.

Visual field assessment is an important part of monitoring glaucoma, although a common problem encountered in real life practice is that it does not always have good repeatability. The Compass is especially useful in this regard because of its retinal tracking ability. Also, there is no need for addition lenses while performing the examination for presbyopic patients so there is no worry about lens fogging which may interfere with patient performance while wearing masks. Aside from its function as a perimeter, it is also a scanning ophthalmoscope which produces high quality images of the optic disc and retina. Structure-function correlation is demonstrated right on the print out making it easy to visualize and explain to the patient. Everything is done in one stop. Altogether, I think the Compass is a very convenient, practical and useful tool to enhance the efficiency and workflow of my glaucoma practice.
