Angioscotometry
Definition
A specialized ophthalmic clinical investigation method used for the precise measurement and mapping of angioscotomas, meaning the blind spots or the extended physiological scotoma (blind spot) caused by the projection of large blood vessels on the retinal surface. This structural perimetry technique helps in the early diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as glaucoma or papilledema.
