About Seeing Machines' Truefield® Analyzer (TFA)

Currently going through its final clinical trials, the TFA will make objective visual field testing a clinical reality. It combines objectivity with 'non-contact' ease of use, making it easy for technicians and patients, giving clinicians objectivity when assessing their patients' conditions. Assessing both eyes concurrently, TFA tests are fast and can be run in both full-test and screening modes. The tests' bilateral concurrency allows the consensual light reflex to be exploited to identify bilateral asymmetries improving test accuracy. Most importantly, the TFA makes objective perimetry a clinical reality.
