A new method for evaluating the total (BINOCULAR) field is based on FUNCTION instead of on anatomy. According to the author's theory of relative values, certain areas of the field are functionally more important than others in human activity. The new system imitates nature by plotting the total field binocularly instead of combining the two conventional monocular fields. Scoring is then done by a new binocular grid--a relative value scale, weighted exactly like its monocular prototype to favor the functionally more valuable parts of the field. The new method also led to the discovery of "binocular enhancement" that produces scores more realistic than formerly possible. Especially useful to ophthalmic consultants for evaluating visual capability or disability in industry, law and government (workers compensation, motor vehicle, social security, aviation, military), the new scale works accurately and rapidly with most existing perimeters, manual or automated.
一种评估双眼总视野的新方法是基于功能而非解剖结构。根据作者的相对价值理论，在人类活动中，视野的某些区域在功能上比其他区域更重要。新系统通过双眼绘制总视野来模仿自然，而不是将两个传统的单眼视野合并。然后通过一个新的双眼网格进行评分——一个相对价值量表，其权重与单眼原型完全相同，以突出视野中功能上更有价值的部分。这种新方法还导致了“双眼增强”的发现，其产生的分数比以前更符合实际情况。这种新量表对眼科顾问在评估工业、法律和政府领域（工伤赔偿、机动车、社会保障、航空、军事）的视觉能力或残疾情况时特别有用，它能与大多数现有的手动或自动视野计精确且快速地配合使用。
