octopus 900 perimeter
Universal and flexible
Everything you can ask of a perimeter is offered in on device: full field, static and kinetic perimetry, a easy-to-read analysis software and the ability to network it with integrated Eyesuite software

Everything you need
The Octopus 900 performs standard white-on-white threshold testing in just 2–4 minutes in the central visual field. With its comprehensive test library for central and peripheral tests and its flexible printouts both in Octopus and HFA-format it covers all your clinical needs.
A test for any situation
The Octopus 900 offers all commonly used standard static tests. For central field testing there are the physiology-based G-patterns following the retinal nerve fibers and the 32, 30-2 and 24-2 patterns. For the macula, there are the physiology-based M pattern and the 10-2pattern. With the fast TOP strategy, full threshold testing can be completed in just 2-4 minutes. The commonly used binocular Estermann test, as well as a neurological and a peripheral glaucoma pattern are also included. And if you're still missing a test, why not create it yourself with the Custom Test option?
Tendency-Oriented Perimetry (TOP) presents a further optimisation in fast-threshold testing by reducing the examination time by nearly 80% to just 2–4 minutes compared to 6–8 minutes (dynamic strategy) or 10–12 minutes (normal strategy). The TOP algorithm is a systematic method which takes into account the correlation of the threshold values in neighbouring locations. Since the first test points are presented at a supra-threshold level, even inexperienced patients quickly understand the nature of the test.
Assess your patients' ability to drive with the commonly used standard binocular Esterman test. This test is widely required by regulating bodies as a standard examination for visual fitness to drive.
All Octopus perimeters offer two unique physiology-based patterns: the G-Program (a 30-degree field for glaucoma assessment) and the M-Program (a 10-degree field for analysing the macula). They are both correlated with a nerve fibre bundle map and thus make it possible to test the points which are most important for a structure-function correlation. These examination patterns offer a higher density of stimuli in the centre, which aids the discovery of paracentral scotomas that are often missed by the common 32 pattern.
The Octopus 900 provides you with complete testing flexibility. Besides standard white-on-white perimetry with a Goldmann III stimulus, it also offers a Goldmann size V stimulus for low vision patients as well as blue-on-yellow and flicker perimetry for early glaucoma detection and corresponding normative databases for each of those stimuli.
Would you like to try other settings? Then use the flexible custom test function to create the test you want.
Standard Octopus representations
Look at visual field results the way you are used to from your Octopus perimeter. All Octopus perimeters offer the standard 7-in-1 printout with its well-known representations, a customizable 4-in-1 printout, a serial printout and much more. And why not conveniently view results in your office by networking your Octopus to the EyeSuite software on your computer?

Smooth transition from HFA
Enjoy a smooth transition from a HFA to an Octopus perimeter. All Octopus perimeters allow you to import your historic HFA data. Because raw data is imported, you can display your historic and new data in the same format of your choice, either as an HFA-style printout or in the Octopus format. To learn more about how the two formats correlate, watch the movie.
A clear view on glaucoma
Get the most out of your glaucoma visual field with the highly sensitive Cluster Analysis, the intuitive Polar Analysis for structural comparisons and the easy-to-interpret EyeSuite Progression Analysis.
Immediate identification of true change
Immediately identify levels of change with the EyeSuite Progression Analysis. It not only reveals whether change is significant, but also whether it is local or diffuse and how fast the change happening. For an effective clinical workflow, all results are displayed using intuitive graphical symbols and can be viewed directly in your office if the Octopus is networked.
Sensitive glaucoma analysis
The sensitive Cluster Analysis groups visual field defects along nerve fibre bundles and combines high sensitivity with good specificity to detect early glaucomatous changes. Significant defects are highlighted and the cluster defects can be used for structural comparison. Cluster Analysis is available in both single field and trend view.
For intuitive structural comparison
Combining the results of both structure and function is key to obtaining a comprehensive assessment of the onset and progression of glaucoma. The Octopus Polar Analysis projects local visual field defects along the nerve fibers to the optic disk and displays them oriented as structural results. This makes structure-function correlation almost intuitive. Polar Analysis is available in both single field and trend view.
The modern Goldmann perimeter
Appreciate the same characteristics and kinetic flexibility as offered by the original Goldmann perimeter and further benefit from simplified and more consistent operation.
Comparable to the manual Goldmann perimeter
Enjoy the characteristics of the manual Goldmann perimeter in a modern device with automatic electronic data filing. As with the manual Goldmann perimeter, you can place vectors anywhere you want and even draw them manually in the standard Goldmann sizes, I to V, and intensities, 1a to 4e. In this way, you can achieve diagnostic results comparable to those from a manual Goldmann perimeter.
Simplified and more consistent operation
Benefit from the flexibility of a manual Goldmann but enjoy simplified and more consistent operation. Vector speed is now controlled and thus repeatable; the influence of both operator and patient reaction time is mostly eliminated and normal isopters provide guidance. And why not translate your standard clinical testing protocol into a template for all your patients that you can still adapt depending on the pathology?
Perimetry you can trust
Enjoy the reliability of Octopus perimeters, for example with Octopus Fixation Control which automatically eliminates fixation losses from your visual field testing.

Automatically eliminate fixation losses
Fixation losses due to low patient compliance are a major cause of unreliable visual fields. But you needn't worry any more. Fixation Control interrupts testing, when there is fixation loss, and automatically restarts, when the patient is properly fixating again. This ensures that each visual field point is reliably tested.
