1. The determination of the limits of the visual field. 2. The mapping of the sensitivity contours of the visual field. [G. perimetros, circumference]

- computed p. determination of the visual field by means of a programmed routine of static stimuli.

- flicker p. a technique of p. using the criterion of critical fusion frequency. SYN: flicker fusion frequency technique.

- kinetic p. mapping of the visual field by using a moving rather than a static test object.

- mesopic p. exploration of the visual field in dim illumination.

- objective p. determination of the visual field by pupillary constriction, electroencephalography, or eye movements.

- quantitative p. a plotting of the visual field in isopters of equal retinal sensitivity.

- scotopic p. p. of a dark-adapted eye.

- static p. determination of the visual field by using test objects at fixed positions and gradually increasing luminance to the threshold of visibility.
