Now available from Zeiss is the latest generation of the Humphrey Field Analyzer, the HFA3. The HFA3 incorporates several features designed to save time and reduce errors, while test results are equal to and interchangeable with test results from previous Humphrey perimeters. The HFA3 is the first perimeter to introduce patented Liquid Lens technology, which saves time, simplifies setup and reduces the possibility of human error in trial lens correction. Liquid Trial Lens automatically delivers the appropriate refractive correction (-8D to +8D sphere with model 860) using measurement information entered into the instrument. Other HFA3 features include: • RelEYE, which allows doctors to instantly review the patient’s eye position, at any stimulus point • SmartTouch interface, which reduces the number of steps required for starting a perimetry exam • Faster gaze tracking, which aids in assessing the reliability of test results and initializes faster and works on a wider spectrum of patients compared with earlier HFA models.
