Features

Goldmann Standard Static Perimetry

The VF-1 performs White-on-White static perimetry fully compliant with Goldmann standards.

Benefits include:

• Goldmann III stimulus
• White background illumination
• Accurate threshold testing
• Reliable clinical performance
• Internationally recognised testing standard

This provides clinicians with confidence that results are directly comparable with established perimetry protocols.

Advanced Eye Tracking

An intelligent eye-tracking system continuously monitors fixation throughout the examination.

Benefits include:

• Automatic eye recognition
• Continuous fixation monitoring
• Improved test reliability
• Reduced operator intervention
• Greater examination accuracy

If fixation is lost, the system automatically repositions the patient using its motorised chinrest and forehead support.

Automatic Patient Positioning

The robotic chinrest and forehead rest work together to maintain optimal alignment throughout testing.

Advantages include:

• Automatic repositioning
• Improved patient comfort
• Reduced repeat testing
• Consistent measurements
• Simplified operation

This intelligent positioning system helps minimise errors caused by patient movement.

Intelligent Test Strategies

The VF-1 incorporates advanced threshold algorithms that adapt throughout the examination.

Features include:

• Interactive Threshold
• Intelligent Fast Threshold
• Screening strategies
• Age-related threshold testing
• Smart stimulus presentation

These adaptive algorithms shorten examination times whilst maintaining excellent diagnostic performance.

Comprehensive Test Programmes

The system includes a wide selection of visual field protocols, including:

• 10-2
• 24-2
• 30-2
• 60-4
• Macular testing
• Nasal Step
• Esterman Monocular
• Esterman Binocular
• Horizontal 150° Driver Test
• Blind Zone Test

This comprehensive programme selection supports routine screening through to specialist ophthalmic assessment.

Unique Blind Zone Test

The VF-1 features a dedicated Blind Zone Test, developed to assist clinicians when assessing optic disc inflammation and optic disc oedema.

Benefits include:

• Optic nerve assessment
• Neurological investigation
• Enhanced clinical information
• Expanded diagnostic capability

This unique programme provides additional functionality beyond standard automated perimetry.

Comprehensive Glaucoma Analysis

Advanced glaucoma reporting includes:

• Glaucoma Hemifield Test (GHT)
• Visual Field Index (VFI)
• Glaucoma Progression Analysis (GPA)
• Reliability analysis
• Single field analysis

These reports support early diagnosis, long-term monitoring and confident treatment decisions.

Reliable Fixation Monitoring

Multiple fixation monitoring methods improve confidence in every examination.

The system supports:

• Eye tracking
• Fixation monitoring
• Head tracking
• Reliability indices
• Automatic quality assessment

Clinicians can quickly determine the reliability of each completed visual field test.

Long-Life LED Illumination

The VF-1 uses an energy-efficient LED light source that provides:

• Stable illumination
• Long operating life
• Minimal maintenance
• Consistent brightness

Unlike conventional bulbs, LED illumination requires no routine replacement or calibration.

Voice Guidance

Integrated voice prompts guide patients throughout the examination.

Benefits include:

• Improved patient cooperation
• Reduced operator workload
• Easier first-time testing
• Consistent patient instruction

Voice guidance helps improve examination quality whilst making testing less intimidating for patients.

DICOM Connectivity

The S4Optik VF-1 integrates easily into modern digital workflows through:

• DICOM compatibility
• Patient data import/export
• Ethernet networking
• Wi-Fi connectivity
• USB export

These features simplify patient management across hospitals and multi-site practices.

Intuitive Touchscreen Interface

A large 14-inch capacitive touchscreen provides:

• Simple navigation
• Fast patient setup
• Easy report review
• Keyboard and mouse compatibility
• Efficient workflow

The intuitive interface helps minimise training requirements and improves clinic efficiency.

Clinical Applications

Glaucoma Diagnosis & Monitoring

Comprehensive threshold analysis and glaucoma progression tools support early diagnosis and long-term disease monitoring.

Neuro-Ophthalmology

Dedicated neurological test programmes and Blind Zone analysis assist with assessment of neurological visual field defects.

Driver Vision Assessment

The Horizontal 150° Driver Test provides assessment for patients with monocular visual impairment and driver vision requirements.

Retinal Disease

Visual field assessment supports diagnosis and monitoring of retinal disorders affecting functional vision.

General Ophthalmology

Ideal for routine visual field assessment within hospital eye departments and specialist ophthalmology clinics.
