{{Short description|Ophthalmic instrument for examining the visual field}}
The '''campimeter''' is an instrument for examining the [visual field](/source/visual_field).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/campimeter |title= Campimeter |publisher=TheFreeDictionary's Medical Dictionary |accessdate=6 January 2009}}</ref> Campimeters have been in clinical use since the mid-nineteenth century. Initially, examination of the visual field was concerned only with the outer limits, or 'perimeter' of the visual field, hence the term '[perimetry](/source/perimetry)', which tends to be used inter-changeably with 'campimetry'.
