[A statistical program for determining fields of vision (author's transl)].

Statistical tests, oriented towards optimum distinction between normal and abnormal behavior, may be applied to the results of static perimetric examinations. Such tests are also important for establishing whether significant progression has occurred. A prototype version of an analytical program is presented here; it evaluates the data stored in the memory of the automated perimeter Octopus. Statistical decisions are printed out in verbal form. Reservations regarding conclusions are discussed. Correlated long-term fluctuations in thresholds complicate the separation of true progression from insignificant coincidence.
