Caught a flash out of the corner of your eye? Tap the bowl or the button. That’s exactly how perimetry works on the device.
This isn’t an eye test. A screen, room lighting and two open eyes make it impossible to measure the visual field — here you’re just getting to know the procedure.
1button — the only thing you press during the test

How computer perimetry works
Computer perimetry, or automated perimetry, is like a game of “spot the light”: all you need is attention and one button. The device is a half-dome bowl with points of light that switch on inside it. You look at the centre and respond with a press, and the computer records which points you noticed. It’s more like a hearing test with headphones than a medical procedure.
Chin on the rest, forehead against the bar. One eye is covered with a patch — each eye is tested separately.

Look at the dot, press at a flash
Keep your gaze on the central dot only. Somewhere to the side a light blinks — you press the button in your hand. The lights can be bright or barely visible, in different places and in random order.
3
The device builds a map of your visual field
From your presses the computer builds a map: where you see well and where you notice light less. The doctor compares it with your eye pressure and scans — and with your previous map, if you have one.
Three questions everyone asks before the test
“What if I miss a flash?”
That’s normal and it’s meant to happen. Some lights are deliberately so dim that they aren’t always visible: that’s how the device finds the point where light stops being noticeable. Nobody treats one missed point as a disease.
“What if I press when there was no flash?”
It happens to everyone. Computer perimetry allows for it: every now and then the device checks whether you’re pressing at random. The advice is simple: don’t rush, and press only when you’ve noticed a light.
“Will it hurt? Will you put in drops?”
It doesn’t hurt: the device doesn’t touch your eye. The test needs no special preparation. You can blink. If perimetry is part of a package where the pupils are dilated to examine the back of the eye, it’s best not to drive after the visit.
Your visual field is everything you see without moving your eyes. Its edge fades away unnoticed: the other eye and the brain fill in the picture. You keep reading and driving, while part of the field has already stopped working. It’s like side mirrors: while you’re looking ahead, you don’t notice one of them has fogged up. Computer perimetry shows this before you’d notice it yourself.
Most often
Glaucoma
The edge of the visual field goes first, while the centre stays sharp for a long time — that’s why glaucoma goes unnoticed for years. Perimetry sees the loss before you do and shows whether treatment is holding.
A neurologist refers a patient for perimetry when they need to work out where to look for the cause of the complaints. The map shows which part of the field has dropped out and what shape the loss has — from this the neurologist understands where to look: in the eye, in the optic nerve, or further along the pathway to the brain.
Retina
“Blind” spots
Retinal diseases also leave places in the visual field where light isn’t noticed. Perimetry shows where they are and how big they are.
Monitoring
Is the treatment working
The new map is compared with the previous one. If the field isn’t narrowing — the treatment is holding. That’s why perimetry is repeated in glaucoma, and it’s worth bringing your previous maps.
“First comes conservative treatment or laser; surgery is the last resort”: Dr. Galiyev on glaucoma
Perimetry doesn’t make a diagnosis on its own. The doctor reads the visual field map together with your eye pressure and scans. OCT shows how the optic nerve is built, perimetry — how it works. Together they give the full picture.
Perimetry is 5,000 ₸ per test. If it was ordered because of suspected glaucoma or before cataract surgery, it’s more convenient to come in for a package: it includes express perimetry, a quick visual field test, together with the other checks and a talk with the doctor. If your referral says “computer perimetry” or “automated perimetry”, that’s a separate, full test: 5,000 ₸ per test, not included in the packages. Choose why you were referred — we’ll show you what to book.
Why you were referred
What suits you
Computer perimetry
A neurologist, a clinic eye doctor or your own ophthalmologist already knows what they’re looking for — they just need the visual field map. Bring your referral: it shows which test is needed.
5,000 ₸per test
What it is: automated perimetry — a computer test of the visual field, each eye separately. On the clinic’s price list it’s called exactly that: “Automated perimetry”.
A package is more convenient
Glaucoma package
With suspected glaucoma the visual field alone isn’t enough: the doctor needs pressure measured two ways, scans of the nerve and an examination. The package covers all of it in one visit.
20,000 ₸per visit
What’s included: “glaucoma test” express perimetry, eye pressure without contact and by the Maklakov method, front and back OCT, gonioscopy (the angle of the eye) and the back of the eye with a dilated pupil, visual acuity, glasses lens selection and a talk with the doctor. OCT on its own costs 18,000 ₸ for both eyes — here it’s included.
For monitoring
Perimetry to monitor glaucoma
The map is compared with the previous one: has the field narrowed, is the treatment holding. Bring your previous maps and the names of the drops you use.
5,000 ₸per test
A follow-up visit on the Glaucoma package costs the same, 20,000 ₸ per visit: it again includes the glaucoma test, pressure measured two ways, visual acuity and a talk with the doctor.
A package is more convenient
Cataract package
Before lens replacement, the visual field is checked together with the calculation of your new lens. All in one visit, with no separate booking for perimetry.
20,000 ₸per visit
What’s included: express perimetry, lens calculation on ARGOS and Pentacam, eye pressure, gonioscopy (the angle of the eye) and the back of the eye with a dilated pupil, visual acuity, glasses lens selection and a talk with the doctor.

Перед блефаропластикой меня направили на диагностику и консультацию офтальмолога. Сначала даже не думала, что перед такой операцией нужно настолько внимательно проверять глаза. Мне понравилось, что здесь к таким вещам относятся серьёзно и в первую очередь думают о здоровье пациента, а не просто о самой операции. После посещения осталось очень хорошее впечатление.
A visual field map on its own is just a picture. It takes an ophthalmologist who has seen your eye to give it meaning. Three doctors people come to with their visual field: glaucoma diagnostics, a full eye exam, and laser if treatment is needed.
Galiyev Yerzhan Serikkanovich
Ophthalmic surgeon: cataract and glaucoma
Runs both packages with express perimetry — Glaucoma and Cataract. Reads the visual field map together with eye pressure and OCT.
Carries out full eye exams. If you were sent for perimetry without anyone explaining why, start with the full exam: the doctor will look at the whole eye.
No special preparation is needed. Four small things will make the result more accurate. The test depends on your attention, so the main thing is to come rested, not straight after a night shift.
Bring your glasses
Especially reading glasses: perimetry is done with suitable lenses so that blur doesn’t stop you noticing the lights.
Contact lenses — tell us in advance
When booking, mention that you wear contact lenses: the administrator will tell you whether to take them out before the test.
Referral and previous maps
The referral shows which test is needed. The doctor will put your previous visual field maps next to the new one and see what has changed.
How long it takes
The test itself takes minutes per eye. If perimetry is part of a package, allow time for the drops and the other checks.
One button for the whole test
Book computer perimetry
Write who referred you and why — the administrator will find a time and tell you whether to book perimetry alone or a package.

perimetry 5,000 ₸ per testGlaucoma package 20,000 ₸ per visit
Computer perimetry (automated perimetry) at RB CLINIC costs 5,000 ₸ per test. If it was ordered for suspected glaucoma, the Glaucoma package is more convenient at 20,000 ₸ per visit: it includes express perimetry (the glaucoma test), pressure measured two ways, OCT and a talk with the doctor. Before cataract surgery, express perimetry is part of the Cataract package at 20,000 ₸ per visit. If the doctor prescribed the full computer perimetry specifically, that’s a separate test at 5,000 ₸ per test.
What is computer perimetry?
It’s a visual field test on a device called a perimeter. You look at a central dot inside a bowl while the device switches on lights of different brightness in different places. You press a button when you notice a light, and the computer builds a map: where you see well and where you notice light less.
Why is the visual field tested?
Most often for glaucoma: it takes away the edge of the visual field without the person noticing, and perimetry sees this earlier. The visual field is also tested on a neurologist’s referral: the map helps the neurologist work out where to look for the cause — in the eye, the optic nerve or along the pathway to the brain; also in retinal diseases and to check whether treatment is working.
Does it hurt? Do I need drops?
It doesn’t hurt: the device doesn’t touch your eye. Perimetry needs no special preparation, and you can blink. Pupil-dilating drops are needed for other checks in the Glaucoma and Cataract packages — in that case it’s best not to drive after the visit.
What happens if I miss a flash or press by mistake?
Nothing bad. Some lights are deliberately on the edge of visibility: that’s how the device finds your sensitivity threshold, and misses in that zone are normal. The device also takes presses without a light into account. Don’t rush, and press when you’re sure.
Can the trial on this page replace perimetry?
No. The trial on the website only shows how the test goes. A phone screen, room lighting and two open eyes can’t measure the visual field, while the device at the clinic tests each eye separately, in a darkened room and at many points.
How is perimetry different from OCT?
OCT is a scan: it shows how the optic nerve and retina are built, layer by layer. Perimetry is a test: it shows how the nerve works, that is, what you actually see. With glaucoma the doctor needs both, which is why the Glaucoma package includes both.
How often should perimetry be repeated with glaucoma?
As often as your doctor says: perimetry is repeated to compare the map with the previous one and see whether treatment is holding. Bring your previous maps — that way changes are visible straight away. If you had the Glaucoma package with us, a follow-up visit costs 20,000 ₸ per visit and includes the glaucoma test.
