Does anyone here know where I can find a good resource to learn how to read OCT and the visual field. I want to learn how to read those numbers, I want to know how to interpret it.

Thanks

For visual fields, I recommend the Atlas of Visual Fields by Don Budenz. It is practical, informative, and very easy to read. It is by far the best book I have read on visual fields!!

I am still searching for a good book on OCT- let me know if you find one!

Hello,
Haag-Streit USA will send you a free copy of the Visual Field Digest if you request one. Haag-Streit makes the Octopus perimeter, an excellent instrument. Haag-Streit's phone number is 800-787-5426. Ask for Irwin.

For OCT, you can try
Everyday OCT (Schuman, Puliafito, Fujimoto)
or the full version (OCT of Ocular Disease, second edition)

For HVF, you can try
Essential Perimetry (Heijl, Patella)
or Anderson's Automated Static Perimetry (classic)
as prev. mentioned Budenz's Atlas of Visual Fields
also a newer book by neuro-ophth is Field of Vision, (Barton, Benatar)
