Peristat is a virtual perimetry
device for the diagnosis and screening of glaucoma.
Peristat is the online version of the visual
field screening test performed in specialized
doctor practices. These devices are the standard
of care doctors use to diagnose glaucoma routinely.
Peristat is an automated digital perimetry
test which scans your visual field to create
a high-fidelity contrast sensitivity map of
your peripheral vision. Peristat’s technology
is unique – it transforms your computer
into a sophisticated diagnostic station so
you can take the test anywhere, anytime. |

Peristat has been designed so that everyone,
even the computer novice, can take the test
independently. The test takes between 2-3
minutes per eye, and does not require anything
more than a computer with an Internet browser.
During the test, you will respond to a number
of light stimuli which will query areas in
your peripheral vision. Each stimulus will
have a unique contrast threshold and will
analyze the functional status of your optic
nerve physiology at pre-specified coordinates.
After you are done, the results are stored
under your confidential profile, and our
doctors and perimetry specialists will review
them |
within 24 hours. They will send you an email after
each testing. When advisable, they may recommend
a follow-up with an eye doctor for additional testing.
You can preview the test with our free demo, which
is also useful to practice testing. In the demo
you are presented with the actual test environment
but your results are not stored or analyzed.
